Detection and Quantification of KIT Mutations in ctDNA by Plasma Safe-SeqS

Part of the Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology book series (AEMB,volume 924)

Abstract

We have designed a highly sensitive assay based on the Safe-SeqS technology to detect de novo mutations in the KIT gene and tested its performance. This assay was applied to plasma samples of GIST patients before and after treatment with a multikinase inhibitor and mutations at known and novel sites of potential secondary resistance were identified.
