- 模拟DPM使用开发的PDF来计算不可检测的子克隆.
- 将PDF的有效性与DPM模拟中的其他统计分布进行了比较.
主要成果:
- 目前的临床测序协议错过了大多数罕见的癌症亚克隆.
- 当忽略不可检测的子克隆时,DPM的模拟好处会减少.
- 将PDF纳入DPM模拟可以通过概率计算罕见的子克隆来恢复其治疗效益.
结论:
- 为罕见亚克隆VAF提供了一个新的PDF,解决目前癌症测序的局限性.
- 将PDF的概率集成到DPM模拟中提高了其在指导癌症治疗中的有效性.
- 这一理论上的进步支持进化引导的精准医学方法,即使检测方法不完美.

Cancer-Critical Genes II: Tumor Suppressor Genes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
