Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tumor cells that shed into stool are attractive targets for molecular screening and early detection of colon or pancreatic malignancies. We developed a diagnostic test to screen for 10 of the most common mutations of codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene by hybridization to a new biochip array. METHODS: DNA was isolated from 26 stool samples by column-based extraction from 9 cell lines. Peptide nucleic...
