Abstract excerpt
Cell-free (cf)DNA-based testing has undergone increasingly wide adoption, including assays for the detection of circulating tumor DNA. Due to nucleosome protection, cfDNA has a distinctive fragment size of 160 to 180 bp. However, cfDNA can be contaminated with high molecular weight genomic DNA from blood cells released in plasma during sample collection. Such contamination can lead to decreased sensitivity or...
