Understanding Tumour Mutation Burden (TMB) Analysis by NGS

Tumor mutation burden (TMB) refers to the number of non-synonymous somatic mutations (single nucleotide variants and small insertions/deletions) per megabase in coding regions.

A high TMB means more mutations which indicates more neoantigens can activate the immune system against cancer cells. So, patients with high TMB might benefit more from immunotherapy drugs like immune checkpoint inhibitors and thus help the clinician to make informed decisions on the treatment.
