Prevalence and detection of low-allele-fraction variants in clinical cancer samples

Prevalence and detection of low-allele-fraction variants in clinical cancer samples

High-throughput sequencing is used to identify somatic variants in cancer patients. Here, the authors perform panel-based profiling of 5095 clinical samples and demonstrate that many clinically-actionable variants have low variant allele fractions, requiring assays with high detection sensitivity.
