Measurement of tumor mutational burden (TMB) in routine molecular diagnostics: in silico and real‐life analysis of three larger gene panels
17 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
Assessment of Tumor Mutational Burden (TMB) for response stratification of cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors is emerging as a new biomarker. Commonly defined as the total number of exonic somatic mutations, TMB approximates the amount of neoantigens that potentially are recognized by the immune system. While whole exome sequencing (WES) is an unbiased approach to quantify TMB,...
