Abstract excerpt
SUMMARY: The detection of mutant tumor genes holds great promise for an early diagnosis of primary tumors and residual malignant disease. When few tumor cells are present with an excess of nonmalignant cells of the same lineage, the excess of wild-type alleles over mutant tumor alleles presents an analytical problem. The subtractive iterative PCR (siPCR) assay presents a new approach to solving this problem. To...
