In tumors of childhood, we identify mutations in epigenetic genes as drivers of relapse, with matched cfDNA sequencing showing significant intratumor genetic heterogeneity and cell-state specific patterns of chromatin accessibility. This highlights the power of cfDNA analysis to identify both genetic and epigenetic drivers of aggressive disease in pediatric cancers.
在儿童肿瘤中,我们鉴定出表观遗传基因中的突变是复发的驱动因素,匹配的游离DNA测序显示出显著的肿瘤内遗传异质性和染色质可及性的细胞状态特异性模式。这凸显了游离DNA分析在识别儿童癌症侵袭性疾病的遗传和表观遗传驱动因素方面的作用。
