Abstract excerpt
The current World Health Organization classification of diffuse astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors requires the examination of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) or IDH2 mutations. Conventional analysis tools, including Sanger DNA sequencing or pyrosequencing, fail in detecting these variants of low frequency owing to their limited sensitivity. Digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR) is a recently developed,...
