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.
