Quantification of measurable residual disease using duplex sequencing in adults with acute myeloid leukemia
The presence of measurable residual disease (MRD) is strongly associated with treatment outcomes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Despite the correlation with clinical outcomes, MRD assessment has yet to be standardized or routinely incorporated into clinical trials. Discrepancies have been observed between different techniques for MRD assessment and there remains a need to compare centralized, […]
Clonal selection of hematopoietic stem cells after gene therapy for sickle cell disease
Duplex sequencing (DS) is an error-corrected next-generation sequencing method in which molecular barcodes informatically link PCR-copies back to their source DNA strands, enabling computational removal of errors in consensus sequences. The resulting background of less than one artifactual mutation per 107 nucleotides allows for direct detection of somatic mutations. TwinStrand Biosciences, Inc. has developed a […]
