PCR bias toward the wild-type k-ras and p53 sequences implications for PCR detection of mutations and cancer diagnosis

PCR bias toward the wild-type k-ras and p53 sequences : implications for PCR detection of mutations and cancer diagnosis

PCR-based cancer diagnosis requires detection of rare mutations in k-ras, p53 or other genes. The assumption has been that mutant and wild-type sequences amplify with near equal efficiency, so that they are eventually present in proportions representative of the starting material. Work on factor IX...
