Target Enrichment Enhances the Sensitivity of Sanger Sequencing for BRAF V600 Mutation Detection
2021-08-15
Abstract excerpt
BRAF is a serine/threonine protein kinase whose mutations lead to unregulated cell growth and cause different types of cancers. Since V600E is a major BRAF mutation and V600E detection as a companion diagnostic test (CDx) is stipulated in the labeling of the BRAF V600 inhibitors. Traditional Sanger sequencing cannot accurately detect mutations lower than 15% variant allele frequency (VAF) due to its limited sensit...
