Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To compare the performance of assays used to assess KRAS mutations in tumor specimens. METHODS: We analyzed DNA extracted from 30 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens using the QIAGEN Therascreen KRAS RGQ and QIAGEN Pyro reagents, with dideoxy sequencing (colloquially considered to be the gold standard) as the reference method. RESULTS: We detected 22 codon 12 or 13 KRAS mutations...
