Given our ability to recognize CH from WBCs, we have been able to reclassify several variant calls reported as somatic events by commercial vendors. While some of these calls were in commonly mutated CH genes such as DNMT3A, some were in less common genes. In one case, a patient with lung adenocarcinoma with an external report of KRAS p.G12S. However, we identified this alteration at equivalent frequencies (0.44 and 0.31%) in the plasma and WBC, suggesting that it most likely represents a CH mutation, underlying the complexities of assigning such alterations to different compartments when considering the clinical presentation of the patient. Shen, R. & Seshan, V. E. FACETS: allele-specific copy number and clonal heterogeneity analysis tool for high-throughput DNA sequencing. Nucleic Acids Res. 44, e131 (2016). Altogether, we clinically reported a total of 1697 SNVs and indels in 486 samples from 435 patients, with a median VAF of 1.9% (range 0.02–99%) (Fig. 2c). Of these mutation calls, 95% ( n = 1606) were called de novo without the aid of prior molecular profiling results for the tested patient. For the remaining 91 variants that were rescued by genotyping, the median observed VAF was 0.08%. As expected, deeper coverage enabled the detection of mutations at lower allele fractions for both de novo and genotyping thresholds (Fig. 2d). However, de novo calling of alterations that were independently seen previously in tumors occurred across the entire mathematically possible range, given minimum required alternate alleles, allele frequencies, and coverage depths (Fig. 2c, d). In 2011, the company changed its name to Microsoft Japan Company, Limited ( 日本マイクロソフト株式会社, Nihon Maikurosofuto Kabushiki Kaisha). [15] We also assessed whether the time between the tissue collection for MSK-IMPACT and blood collection for MSK-ACCESS (difference in date of procedure, ΔDOP) had an impact on the mutation concordance (see “Methods”). Overall, the average ΔDOP was 65 weeks (median: 27 weeks, range: 0–679 weeks). Patients with mutations only detected on either MSK-IMPACT (mean = 598 days; median = 491 days, p = 3.63 × 10 − 14) or MSK-ACCESS (mean = 616 days; median = 288 days, p = 1.33 × 10 −9) showed a higher ΔDOP than patients for whom mutations were detected on both assays (mean = 351 days; median = 83 days; Fig. 3f, Supplementary Table 2). Evaluation of ΔDOP based only on actionable mutations across the three categories−MSK-IMPACT only, shared mutations, and MSK-ACCESS only−yielded similar findings (Supplementary Fig. 5). Taken together, these results underlie the importance of timing of sample collection and tumor heterogeneity with respect to mutation concordance between tissue and plasma-based testing.

What We Don’t Love: Although this hair mask delivers impressive results after just one use, it won’t totally fix your split ends.For comparisons of the prevalence of alterations across patients, we used mutation data from 47,116 solid tumor samples sequenced with MSK-IMPACT and considered only mutations that intersected with the MSK-ACCESS target exons. Comparisons were performed for select genes and cancer types where the alteration rate was greater than 3% by both MSK-ACCESS and MSK-IMPACT.

This tool is designed to calculate the likelihood of having high-grade prostate cancer in men who have been considered eligible for prostate biopsy by a urologist. If you have not been examined by a urologist, the results produced by this calculator will be a considerable overestimation of your risk for prostate cancer (that is, it will give a risk that is too high). This tool is not applicable for men who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Additional Tools Male Life Expectancy Snyder, M. W., Kircher, M., Hill, A. J., Daza, R. M. & Shendure, J.

Corresponding authors Sequencing data were demultiplexed with BCL2FASTQv2.1.9 (Illumina), UMIs were trimmed with Trim Galore (v0.2.5) and Marianas ( https://github.com/mskcc/Marianas), and read pairs underwent alignment to the human GRCh37 reference genome with further post-processing using BWA MEM (v0.7.5a), ABRA2 (v2.17), and GATK (v3.3) to generate a “standard” BAM file. All pipeline workflows were built using the common workflow language (CWL) specification ( https://www.commonwl.org/) and toil workflow engine 35. Aligned PCR duplicates were collapsed into error-suppressed consensus reads based on UMI and position by Marianas. An additional three bases were trimmed from the ends of the collapsed reads due to increased sequencing errors at these positions. Collapsed and trimmed, reads were then re-aligned using the above standard pipeline. Collapsed BAM files include the “duplex” BAM with consensus reads generated from both strands of the original cfDNA template molecule, the “simplex” BAM with consensus reads generated from at least 3 reads of only one strand of the original template molecule, and the “all unique” BAM representing all sequenced template molecules: duplex consensus reads, simplex consensus reads, as well as sub-simplex consensus reads and singleton reads from 2 or 1 reads of one strand. We next considered the alterations specific to one assay. Twenty-one and twenty percent of the mutations were reported individually by either MSK-IMPACT tumor sequencing ( n = 254) or MSK-ACCESS plasma sequencing ( n = 246), respectively (Fig. 3a). Interestingly, 58 of 246 mutations reported by MSK-ACCESS-only were present at low sub-threshold levels in tissue by MSK-IMPACT, highlighting the potential for increased sensitivity obtained by utilizing ultra-high depth of coverage and UMIs. Eighteen percent ( n = 46) of the MSK-IMPACT-only mutations were clinically actionable (OncoKB Level 1-3), as were 12% ( n = 30) of the MSK-ACCESS-only detected mutations (Supplementary Fig. 3), clearly demonstrating the importance and value of complementary tissue and cfDNA analyses. Moreover, for patients that did not receive MSK-IMPACT testing ( n = 234), MSK-ACCESS detected 79 total clinically actionable mutations in 26% ( n = 61) of the patients. Netflix's former vice president of IT operations was convicted of taking bribes from technology vendors in exchange for awarding them contracts with Netflix, the US Department of Justice announced Friday. The former Netflix VP's illegal scheme forced colleagues to use a variety of products, including one that suffered from "severe" performance problems and another that Netflix employees objected to because they preferred a different product the company was already paying for, the DOJ said. As previous reports have demonstrated that tumor- and normal-derived cfDNA may be distinguishable from genomic DNA by fragment length 24, 25, we sought to confirm this observation in MSK-ACCESS data and use this information to better inform the origin of variants detected in cfDNA. The general fragment length distribution exhibited the expected bimodal cfDNA peaks around 161 and 317 base pairs, when factoring the trimming of 3 bases from read ends by the pipeline 26 (Fig. 4b). For all cfDNA fragments harboring a somatic tumor-derived mutation confirmed to be absent in WBCs ( n = 1558), we observed that these fragments were significantly shorter than those harboring the wild-type allele, consistent with their tumor origin (Fig. 4c–i) (bootstrapped p value < 0.0001). In several variants with limited supporting evidence in WBC DNA but significantly greater VAF in plasma cfDNA we were able to distinguish the origin as somatic tumor-derived (ctDNA) nature based on the slight cfDNA insert size profile peak in the WBC sample. As demonstrated in Fig. 4c -II, these reads did have a shortened fragment length (bootstrapped p value < 0.0001), confirming that they originated from the cell-free compartment. In stark contrast, the variant calls from the unmatched analysis that were filtered out as putative germline variants by their presence in WBCs at high VAF demonstrated an equivalent fragment length distribution as wild-type alleles (Fig. 4c -III) (bootstrapped p value = 0.94). As we have shown, by integrating the fragment length analysis into the MSK-ACCESS assay, we can confidently distinguish between tumor-derived somatic and normal-derived variants in cfDNA.

To calculate precision and reproducibility, the cfDNA from four patient samples, AccuRef 1% control, SeraCare 1%, and SeraCare 2.5% control samples were tested in triplicate within the same library preparation and sequencing run and in triplicate across multiple days of library construction and sequencing runs, each with a different barcode. To assess the limit of detection of the assay, 19 known mutations in SeraCare control samples at 5, 2.5, 1, 0.5, and 0.1% allele frequencies, and wild type were used.
