Protocol optimization of a targeted sequencing panel for genomic profiling of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in lung cancer.

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: We investigated a commercially available sequencing panel to study the effect of sequencing depth, variant calling strategy, and targeted sequencing region on identifying tumor-derived variants in cell-free bronchoalveolar lavage (cfBAL) DNA compared with plasma cfDNA. METHODS: Sequencing was performed at low or high coverage using two filtering algorithms to identify tumor variants on two panels...
