Validating quantitative PCR assays for cfDNA detection without DNA extraction in exercising SLE patients

Abstract Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) has been investigated as a screening tool for many diseases. To avoid expensive and time-consuming DNA isolation, direct quantification PCR assays can be established. However, rigorous validation is required to provide reliable data in the clinical and non-...
