Digital PCR for discriminating mosaic deletions and for determining proportion of tumor cells in specimen

Mosaicism, presence of a genetic feature in only a subpopulation of cells, is frequent in de novo genetic diseases. Among large deletions covering the NF1 tumor suppressor gene, the frequency of mosaicism can be as high as 40% in de novo patients. In this study, we demonstrate the high potential of...
