Abstract
A method for predicting resistance to BTK inhibitors in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) enhances the sensitivity of Sanger sequencing and NGS by using wild-type blocking of genes that are relevant for detecting resistance to ibrutinib. Further enhancement of sensitivity can be achieved by using cell-free DNA.
