Clinical advantage of targeted sequencing for unbiased tumor mutational burden estimation in samples with low tumor purity

Background Tumor mutational burden (TMB) measurement is limited by low tumor purity of samples, which can influence prediction of the immunotherapy response, particularly when using whole-exome sequencing-based TMB (wTMB). This issue could be overcome by targeted panel sequencing-based TMB (pTMB) wi...
