Abstract excerpt
Mutation V600E of BRAF, a kinase-encoding gene from the RAS/RAF/MAPK pathway, in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) suggests a sporadic origin of the disease, providing an exclusion criterion for hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer. Here we describe detection of this mutation by real-time chemistry TaqMan MGB probes, confirmed by direct DNA sequencing as the gold standard. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded...
