“…16 In the setting of a brain tumor, cfDNA is difficult to detect in plasma DNA due to the blood-brain barrier, 27 which is consistent with our results where EGFRvIIIderived PCR amplicons were not obtained from either cfDNA or evDNA derived from plasma, even with modifications to enhance sensitivity, such as preamplification 13 and heparinase I treatment. 14 In contrast, a previous study analyzing patients with brain tumors, including 8 GBMs, shows that tumor DNA was detectable in CSF, 28 as in one of the cases in the current study, suggesting that this source of cfDNA provides a means to detect EGFRvIII mutations based on a tumor-defined, patient-specific breakpoint fingerprint.…”

“…Kondratov et al . recently reported the use of calibration curves to determine amplification efficiencies and the presence of inhibitors in heparinase I treated miRNA samples from CABG patients and successful quantification of miR-1-3p and miR-208a by using a heparinase I treatment protocol for heparinized plasma quite similar to ours 41 . However, in our study, we developed a simple protocol with spike-in C. elegans cel-miR-54 as control, in which RNA samples treated with heparinase I could be directly used in reverse transcription.…”

“…Levels of selected microRNA were evaluated by qPCR. To remove heparin traces, RNA was treated with heparinase (Sigma) as was described before ( 41 ). For reverse transcription and qPCR microRNA-specific TaqMan Assays, TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit and TaqMan Universal Master Mix II no UNG (all Thermo Fisher Scientific) were used according to manufacturer's recommendations.…”
