Machine learning-based genome-wide interrogation of somatic copy number aberrations in circulating tumor DNA for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma
1 Jun 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNAs released from tumor cells into blood (circulating tumor DNAs, ctDNAs) carry tumor-specific genomic aberrations, providing a non-invasive means for cancer detection. In this study, we aimed to leverage somatic copy number aberration (SCNA) in ctDNA to develop assays to detect early-stage HCCs. METHODS: We conducted low-depth whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to profile SCNAs in 384 plasma samples of...
