Identification of white blood cells (WBCs) derived mutations in liquid biopsies of HCC patients. A Detection rates of mutations shared between liquid biopsies and paired WBCs (LB-share-WBC) and mutations uniquely found in liquid biopsy (LB) samples (LB-unique) (n = 55). B Correlation of the mean VAFs of LB-share-WBC mutations in WBCs and LBs. p‐values and correlation coefficients (r) were calculated using Pearson's correlation test. C Venn diagram showing overlapping LB-share-WBC and LB-unique spectra.  (yellow) LB and WBC shared.  (pink) LB-unique.  (green) WBC unique. D The concordance rates of WBC-derived mutations detected by parallel sequencing of paired WBC gDNA and plasma cfDNA with in-house model
