The utility of liquid biopsy in clinical genetic diagnosis of cancer and monogenic mosaic disorders
Abstract Liquid biopsy for minimally invasive diagnosis and monitoring of cancer patients is progressing toward routine clinical practice. With the implementation of highly sensitive next-generation sequencing (NGS) based assays for the analysis of cfDNA, however, consideration of the utility of liquid biopsy for clinical genetic testing is critical. While the focus of liquid biopsy for cancer diagnosis is the detection of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) as a fraction of total cell-free DNA (cfDNA), cfDNA analysis reveals both somatic mosaic tumor and germline variants and clonal hematopoiesis. Here we outline advantages and limitations of mosaic and germline variant detection as well as the impact of clonal hematopoiesis on liquid biopsy in cancer diagnosis. We also evaluate the potential of cfDNA analysis for the molecular diagnosis of monogenic mosaic disorders.
期刊介绍:
medizinischegenetik is a scientific journal that is owned and published by the German Society of Human Genetics e.V. since 1989. The journal was founded by Prof. Jan Murken, München. Self-published until 2006, from 2007-2019 published at Springer Verlag and since 2020 at De Gruyter.
medizinischegenetik serves education and training among colleagues, the interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge in all areas of human genetics in clinics, practice, research and teaching. Each issue of the quarterly journal deals with a focus that provides a comprehensive overview of current developments in specific clinical pictures, technical developments and therapeutic approaches. All reviews are written in English language. The journal thus creates a platform for the international exchange of knowledge and increased awareness of German research activities in the scientific community.
In addition, medizinischegenetik contains information on activities in its own subject in the German-language section. This includes conference reports, association announcements, personnel matters, statements and guidelines. With health policy questions, historical retrospectives and comments on current developments, the profession takes a stand on human genetic issues in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
