Enhanced Performance of DNA Methylation Markers by Simultaneous Measurement of Sense and Antisense DNA Strands after Cytosine Conversion
16 Apr 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Most existing DNA methylation-based methods for detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) are based on conversion of unmethylated cytosines to uracil. After conversion, the 2 DNA strands are no longer complementary; therefore, targeting only 1 DNA strand merely utilizes half of the available input DNA. We investigated whether the sensitivity of methylation-based ctDNA detection strategies could be...
