摘要: Aim: This study quantified low-frequency KRAS mutations in normal lung and adenocarcinomas, to understand their potential significance the development of acquired resistance EGFR-targeted therapies. Materials & methods: Allele-specific Competitive Blocker-PCR was used quantify codon 12 GAT (G12D) GTT (G12V) mutation 19 21 adenocarcinoma samples. Results: Lung adenocarcinomas had geometric mean mutant fractions 1.94 × 10-4 1.16 10-3, respectively. For 76.2% level greater than upper 95% confidence interval that lung. Conclusion: tumor subpopulations, not detectable by DNA sequencing, may drive EGFR blockade patients.
