Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: For the rapid and sensitive screening of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) hot-spot mutations, we developed a novel method combining mutant-enriched PCR with amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) TaqMan real-time PCR in a one-step reaction tube. METHODS AND RESULTS: We designed two pairs of primers to enrich and genotyping each mutation (E746_A750del and L858R): nest primers and ARMS...
