Current liquid biopsy assays lack sufficient sensitivity to detect copy number loss, which limits the interrogation of critical tumor suppressor gene deletions during cancer progression and treatment. Here we describe a liquid biopsy assay with improved sensitivity for detection of copy number loss in blood samples with low levels of circulating tumor DNA, and demonstrate its utility by profiling , , and genetic loss in metastatic prostate cancer patients.
目前的液体活检检测方法在检测拷贝数缺失方面缺乏足够的灵敏度,这限制了在癌症进展和治疗过程中对关键肿瘤抑制基因缺失的研究。在此,我们描述了一种液体活检检测方法,该方法对检测低水平循环肿瘤DNA的血样中的拷贝数缺失具有更高的灵敏度,并通过分析转移性前列腺癌患者的 、 和 基因缺失来证明其效用。
