Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activating mutations in the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) gene have been detected often in solid tumors. Targeted therapy for mutant PIK3CA is now available in the clinic, making molecular diagnostics pivotal. Our aim was to design a multiplex digital PCR (dPCR) assay to evaluate the 4 most common PIK3CA hotspot mutations simultaneously to characterize...
