cfDNA基本知识

在167bp左右（对应染色小体长度）有一个峰，并且其它的峰有着10.5bp的周期波动，对应着核小体核心DNA的螺距

  1. 凋亡和坏死

  2. 移植物或者胎儿的游离DNA（参考文献见下）

  3. 自主激活的DNA的释放

  • 应用

  1. 胎儿的DNA会游离到孕妇的血液中，怀男孩的孕妇血液可以检测到Y染色体，还可用于产前检测，21和18三体

  2. 器官移植免疫排斥产生的细胞死亡，DNA会释放到血液中，因此用于器官移植状态的监控

  3. cfDNA浓度与外伤、烧伤的损伤水平有关

  4. 高浓度cfDNA也用于ICU死亡的预测，也可用于预测脓毒症和脓毒性休克，无菌性炎症，心肌梗死和无影像学结果的中风患者患病情况。

  5. 肿瘤来源的cfDNA，可以发现肿瘤相关的突变、杂合子缺失（LOH）、基因扩增、癌病毒DNA、抑癌基因启动子区的超甲基化，因此可以实现在无创条件下研究肿瘤DNA
