Epigenetic Biomarkers in Cell-Free DNA and Applications in Liquid Biopsy
9 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Cell-free circulating DNA (cfDNA) in plasma has gained global interest as a diagnostic material for noninvasive prenatal testing and cancer diagnosis, or the so-called "liquid biopsy". Recent studies have discovered a great number of valuable genetic and epigenetic biomarkers for cfDNA-based liquid biopsy. Considering that the genetic biomarkers, e.g., somatic mutations, usually vary from case to case in most...
