Mutation tracking in circulating tumor DNA predicts relapse in early breast cancer.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-08-26)
The identification of early-stage breast cancer patients at high risk of relapse would allow tailoring of adjuvant therapy approaches. We assessed whether analysis of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in plasma can be used to ...
Efficient Genotyping of KRAS Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Using a Multiplexed Droplet Digital PCR Approach.
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2015-09-28)
Droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) can be used to detect low frequency mutations in oncogene-driven lung cancer. The range of KRAS point mutations observed in NSCLC necessitates a multiplex approach to efficient mutation detection ...
Whole-exome sequencing reveals the mutational spectrum of testicular germ cell tumours.
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2015-01-22)
Testicular germ cell tumours (TGCTs) are the most common cancer in young men. Here we perform whole-exome sequencing (WES) of 42 TGCTs to comprehensively study the cancer's mutational profile. The mutation rate is uniformly ...
Analysis of ESR1 mutation in circulating tumor DNA demonstrates evolution during therapy for metastatic breast cancer.
(AMER ASSOC ADVANCEMENT SCIENCE, 2015-11-11)
Acquired ESR1 mutations are a major mechanism of resistance to aromatase inhibitors (AIs). We developed ultra high-sensitivity multiplex digital polymerase chain reaction assays for ESR1 mutations in circulating tumor DNA ...
