Comparison of droplet digital PCR and direct Sanger sequencing for the detection of the BRAFV600E mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma
25 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background The BRAFV600E mutation status is a useful diagnostic and prognostic marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Although it is a commonly used method, Sanger sequencing has several limitations in detecting the BRAFV600E mutation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) as an alternative method for the detection of the BRAFV600E mutation in PTC...
