Direct Quantification of Cell-Free, Circulating DNA from Unpurified Plasma
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in body tissues or fluids is extensively investigated in clinical medicine and other research fields. In this article we provide a direct quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) as a sensitive tool for the measurement of cfDNA from plasma without previous DNA extraction, which is known to be accompanied by a reduction of DNA yield. The primer sets were designed to amplify a 90 a...
متن کاملDetection of fetal subchromosomal abnormalities by sequencing circulating cell-free DNA from maternal plasma.
BACKGROUND The development of sequencing-based noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has been largely focused on whole-chromosome aneuploidies (chromosomes 13, 18, 21, X, and Y). Collectively, they account for only 30% of all live births with a chromosome abnormality. Various structural chromosome changes, such as microdeletion/microduplication (MD) syndromes are more common but more challenging ...
متن کاملDetection of copy number alterations in cell-free tumor DNA from plasma
BACKGROUND Somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) occurring in tumors can provide information about tumor classification, patient's outcome or treatment targets. Liquid biopsies, incl. plasma samples containing circulating cell-free tumor DNA (ccfDNA) can be used to assess SCNAs for clinical purposes, however specify and reliability of methods have to be tested. METHODS SNP microarrays (Affy...
متن کاملOptimized Library Prep for Cell-Free DNA from Human Plasma
Researchers and clinicians are increasingly interested in using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) found in plasma (the cell-free fraction of anticoagulated blood) for biomarker discovery and diagnostic applications. Two areas of specific interest are non-invasive prenatal diagnostics (1-6) and monitoring efficacy of treatment in cancer patients (7-20). Many rece...
متن کاملPlasma Cell-Free DNA in Paediatric Lymphomas
BACKGROUND Extracellular circulating DNA (cfDNA) can be found in small amounts in plasma of healthy individuals. Increased levels of cfDNA have been reported in patients with cancer of breast, cervix, colon, liver and it was shown that cfDNA can originate from both tumour and non-tumour cells. OBJECTIVES Levels of cfDNA of a large series of children with lymphoma were evaluated and analyzed i...
