Method for the detection of EGFR mutations in blood samples

摘要

The present invention refers to the detection of EGFR mutations in a blood (serum/plasma) sample from a subject. The method comprises:
(x) obtaining the DNA from said sample;
(xi) amplifying the nucleic acid sequence corresponding to a specific region of the EGFR gene by means of PCR using a Protein-Nucleic Acid probe; and
(xii) detecting said mutation.
