Circulating tumour DNA sequence analysis as an alternative to multiple myeloma bone marrow aspirates

Circulating tumour DNA sequence analysis as an alternative to multiple myeloma bone marrow aspirates

Genetic profiling of multiple myeloma requires painful bone marrow biopsies. Here, the authors develop an alternative non-invasive method for sequencing of five oncogenes in circulating cell-free DNA from myeloma patients, demonstrating 96% concordance with bone marrow tumour profiling results.
