Abstract excerpt
Recently, several molecular assays for detecting the BRAF V600E mutation in fine-needle aspiration (FNA) specimens have been developed. Herein, we tested 294 consecutive FNA samples from patients with thyroid nodules with the Real-Q BRAF V600E detection assay (Real-Q). These results were compared with an allele-specific PCR-based kit using dual-priming oligonucleotides (AS-PCR). Any discordant results between the...
