Simple quantitative PCR analysis for allelic Pten loss in tumor progression.

Abstract excerpt

We describe a simple method to accurately detect and quantify both Pten mutation and allele-specific loss using allele-specific PCR analysis. Our approach used a heterozygous genomic DNA with one wild-type and one mutant Pten allele as a reference at a single concentration to calculate the percent ratio of the wild-type Pten gene for the detection of allele-specific gene loss. With a standard curve, ratios from...
