Pyrophosphorolysis-Activated Polymerization Detects Circulating Tumor DNA in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma
29 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To develop a molecular tool to detect circulating tumor-derived DNA (ctDNA) in the plasma from patients with uveal melanoma as a marker of tumor burden and monitor treatment efficacy. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: A real-time PCR was developed on the basis of bidirectional pyrophosphorolysis-activated polymerization (bi-PAP) for the quantification of ctDNA using 3'blocked primer pairs specific for the 3 recurrent...
