Abstract excerpt
PNA-LNA PCR clamp real-time PCR method represents allele-specific approach to mutation analysis of EGFR gene in NSCLC. Due to its unique design, it is characterized by exceptionally high specificity and sensitivity but also allows detection of rare or not specifically-targeted EGFR mutations within examined exons, otherwise undetectable by other mutation-specific fluorescent probes. We herein present two cases of...
