    1. Limited copy number - high resolution melting (LCN-HRM) enables the detection and identification by sequencing of low level mutations in cancer biopsies

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC2766370

      Evidence Type(s): Diagnostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Diagnostic: The text describes the use of LCN-HRM and sequencing to identify specific mutations (c.34G>T and delE746_A750) in DNA samples, indicating that these methods are employed for diagnostic purposes to detect the presence of these variants. Oncogenic: The presence of mutations such as c.34G>T (p.G12C) and delE746_A750 in EGFR is associated with oncogenic activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), suggesting that these variants contribute to cancer development.

    4. Four NSCLC samples extracted from FFPE tissues were tested by LCN-HRM to investigate the cause of discrepant results between HRM and sequencing. TX450 was negative by sequencing but positive by HRM for KRAS exon 2. After

      Evidence Type(s): Diagnostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Diagnostic: The passage discusses the detection of the KRAS mutation c.34G>T (p.G12C) in NSCLC samples, indicating its association with the disease and its role in characterizing the mutation through sequencing. Oncogenic: The variant c.34G>T (p.G12C) is mentioned in the context of being a mutation detected in NSCLC samples, suggesting its contribution to tumor development or progression.

    5. HCT116 and NCI-H1650 DNA dilutions with a 5% mutant allele frequency were sequencing negative for KRAS exon 2 missense and EGFR exon 19 deletion mutations respectively (Figure 1, data not shown for EGFR exon 19). The sam

      Evidence Type(s): Diagnostic, Oncogenic

      Justification: Diagnostic: The passage discusses the identification of specific mutations (c.38G>A and delE746_A750) in the context of sequencing and testing, indicating their role in defining or confirming the presence of these mutations in the respective cell lines. Oncogenic: The mention of the delE746_A750 EGFR mutation in the context of tumor cell lines (NCI-H1650) suggests that this somatic variant contributes to tumor development or progression.
