Project description:Copy number analysis by low coverage whole genome sequencing using ultra low-input DNA from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumour tissue
Project description:RAS genotyping is mandatory for the prescription of anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) therapies in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. The standard genotyping is assessed on formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tumour tissue. This study compares RAS and BRAF genotyping results achieved in analyzing circulating plasma DNA using OncoBEAM technique with those achieved using the standard genotyping techniques and formalin-fixed paraffin embedded samples.
Project description:The aim of this work was to identify the Copy Number Aberrations (CNAs) by high-resolution array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) on 19 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples of treatment-naïve COM.
Project description:Comparison of the genomic profiles of urinary cellular DNA and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the urine to matched diagnostic formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumour DNAs for 23 well-characterised UBC patients.
