Where this comes from

Abstract

Whole genome sequencing was performed on 20 matched blood and aqueous samples; tumor-associated chromosomal changes were found in 0/20 blood vs. 11/20 aqueous samples along with shorter DNA fragments. Thus, aqueous is superior to blood as a liquid biopsy for retinoblastoma.
