Application of COLD-PCR for improved detection of EGFR mutations in clinical samples. by Zhang, Zhi Xuan.

“…Due to the significance of mutation status of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affecting patient response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), the more sensitive and robust the method used to detect the mutations, the better. It has been suggested that co-amplification at lower denaturation temperature (COLD)-PCR enhances the amplification of mutant alleles over wild type and hence, may be applied locally to NSCLC patients as a routine test to aid in deciding on the use of TKIs for treatment of NSCLC patients. …”
