Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene confer resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AI), and may be targeted by selective estrogen receptor downregulators. We designed a multiplex droplet digital PCR (ddPCR), which combines a drop-off assay, targeting the clustered hotspot mutations found in exon 8, with an unconventional assay interrogating the E380Q mutation in exon 5. We assessed its...
