Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Detection of the V600E hotspot mutation in BRAF oncogene is extremely useful for the screening of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch's syndrome) and for the prediction of sensitivity to MEK inhibitors. Here we describe a method for detecting this mutation based upon pyrosequencing technology. METHODS: The efficiency of pyrosequencing for detecting BRAF V600E mutations was compared...
