Reliability of Whole-Exome Sequencing for Assessing Intratumor Genetic Heterogeneity
1 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Multi-region sequencing is used to detect intratumor genetic heterogeneity (ITGH) in tumors. To assess whether genuine ITGH can be distinguished from sequencing artifacts, we performed whole-exome sequencing (WES) on three anatomically distinct regions of the same tumor with technical replicates to estimate technical noise. Somatic variants were detected with three different WES pipelines and subsequently...
