Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to develop a multiplex PCR and primer extension to detect K-, N-, H-RAS, and BRAF mutations. DESIGN AND METHODS: DNA samples were isolated from 76 thyroid cancer patients. Multiplex amplification of exons 2 and 3 of three RAS genes and exon 15 of the BRAF gene using three pairs of primers was performed in a single tube. The products were split into three tubes. First, we...
