  • Publication number: 20230272475
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for detecting the mutation and methylation of tumor-specific genes in ctDNA, and this method can simultaneously detect the mutation (including point mutation, insertion-deletion mutation, HBV integration and other mutation forms) and/or methylation of tumor-specific genes in ctDNA in one sample. Not only the sample size requirement is low, but the MC library prepared by this method can support 10-20 subsequent detections. The results of each test can represent the mutation status of all the original ctDNA specimens and the methylation modification status of the region covered by the restriction sites, without reducing the sensitivity and specificity. The present invention has important clinical significance for early tumor screening, disease tracking, efficacy evaluation, prognosis prediction and the like, and has great application value.

  • Publication number: 20220119806
    Abstract: A method of ctDNA library construction and sequencing data analysis for simultaneously detecting multiple common mutations in liver cancer. The library construction method and sequencing data analysis process have the following advantages: 1. Simultaneous detection of multiple mutation forms in liver cancer without capturing; 2. Suitable for efficient capture of ultra-small target regions; 3. The library may support 10-20 tests; 4. Ligate the DNA barcode to the starting ctDNA molecule during the library construction process, and cooperate with the biological information analysis process to achieve high specific detection of low-frequency mutations in ctDNA; 5. The library is usable for PCR hot spots detection and sequencing by a capture method at the same time, the added DNA barcode may effectively filter out false positive mutations and achieve high-specificity sequencing based on duplex.
