Genomic cfDNA Analysis of Aqueous Humor in Retinoblastoma Predicts Eye Salvage: The Surrogate Tumor Biopsy for Retinoblastoma
30 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Tumor-derived cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has biomarker potential; therefore, this study aimed to identify cfDNA in the aqueous humor (AH) of retinoblastoma eyes and correlate somatic chromosomal copy-number alterations (SCNA) with clinical outcomes, specifically eye salvage. AH was extracted via paracentesis during intravitreal injection of chemotherapy or enucleation. Shallow whole-genome sequencing was...
