METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING ERBB2 ALTERATION IN TUMORS

摘要

Methods for identifying ERBB2 (also named HER2) alteration in tumors, in particular cancer, based on the analysis of the expression of at least three genes of the ERBB2 amplicon located within less than one megabase on either side of ERBB2, and eventually of the gene corresponding to the Affymetrix probeset 234046_at (SEQ ID NO: 31), as well as a poynucleotide library useful for the molecular characterization of a cancer including polynucleotide sequences for detecting the genes, and a kit including the library.
