Highly sensitive mutation detection methods enable the application of circulating cell-free DNA for molecular tumor profiling. Recent studies revealed that sequencing artifacts, germline variants, and clonal hematopoiesis confound the interpretation of sequencing results and complicate subsequent treatment decision making and disease monitoring. Parallel sequencing of matched white blood cells promises to overcome these issues and enables appropriate variant calling. Comment on: https://doi.org/10.1002/1878-0261.12617.
高灵敏度突变检测方法使循环无细胞 DNA 在分子肿瘤分析中的应用成为可能。最近的研究表明,测序伪影、种系变异和克隆性造血会干扰测序结果的解释,使后续的治疗决策和疾病监测变得复杂。配对白细胞的平行测序有望克服这些问题,并实现适当的变异调用。评论:https://doi.org/10.1002/1878-0261.12617。
