A Fast, Sensitive and Accurate High Resolution Melting (HRM) Technology-Based Assay to Screen for Common K-ras Mutations

Background: Increasing evidence points to a negative correlation between K-ras mutations and patient’s response to, or survival benefit after, treatment with EGFR-inhibitors. Therefore, rapid and reliable assays for mutational analysis of the K-ras gene are strongly needed.
