Shallow Whole Genome Sequencing on Circulating Cell-Free DNA Allows Reliable Noninvasive Copy-Number Profiling in Neuroblastoma Patients
14 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Purpose: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by distinct clinical features and by the presence of typical copy-number alterations (CNAs). Given the strong association of these CNA profiles with prognosis, analysis of the CNA profile at diagnosis is mandatory. Therefore, we tested whether the analysis of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) present in plasma samples of patients with...
