Abstract excerpt
Mutations at BRAF codon V600 are used as predictive biomarkers for targeted therapy of skin melanoma. Here, a simple sensitive test to detect mutations of BRAF-V600 was developed using real-time PCR with allele-specific primers and TaqMan probes. Two versions of the test using sense and antisense...
