ASH 2023 | Non-invasive lymphoma classification using cell-free DNA profiling to infer gene expression
Ash Alizadeh, MD, PhD, Stanford Comprehensive Cancer Center, Stanford, CA, discusses a study that aimed to develop a panel that would allow for non-invasive lymphoma diagnosis and classification using gene expression by cell-free DNA (cfDNA) profiling. EPIC-Seq is a method that can infer expression levels for genes of interest by using cfDNA fragmentomic signals at their transcription start sites. This study elucidated that this cfDNA profiling method could distinguish between individuals with and without lymphoma and identify patients with ‘dark zone’ or ‘double hit’ gene expression signatures who tend to have poorer outcomes. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
