Disease:
Lymphoproliferative disorders (CLL, Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia, etc.)
Deep next generation sequencing of gene panel for LPD detection. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a massively parallel sequencing technology that offers ultra-high throughput, scalability, and speed. The technology is used to determine the order of nucleotides in entire genomes or targeted regions of DNA or RNA. The rapid progress in next-generation sequencing technologies has significantly contributed to our knowledge of the genetic events associated with the development, progression and treatment resistance of chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients
