Abstract excerpt
PARP inhibitors are used for treatment of tumors lacking function of the double-strand DNA break repair proteins BRCA1 or BRCA2 and are already approved for several cancer types. Thus, it is clinically crucial to determine germline as well as somatic BRCA1/2 mutations in those patients. The amplicon-based Oncomine BRCA1 and BRCA2 Assay is a test routinely used in diagnostics with FFPE specimens. The assay is...
