Abstract excerpt
Assays for tumor mutations need to be sufficiently sensitive that a mutation can be readily detected in a high background of wild-type sequence. We have evaluated competitive allele-specific oligonucleotide (cASO) hybridization, the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS), and a combination of cASO with mutant-enriched polymerase chain reaction (ME-PCR) for their respective sensitivities in detecting the...
