摘要:
Methods are provided for selective nucleic acid sequence detection in primer extension reactions of high specificity. These methods are useful for detecting small amounts of mutant nucleic acid in a heterogeneous biological sample. These methods are particularly useful for identifying individuals with gene mutations indicative of early colorectal cancer.
摘要:
Methods of the invention comprise assays for markers indicative of cancer or precancer. Assays of the invention are performed on samples obtained from a patient by non-invasive or minimally-invasive methods. The invention provides nucleic acid indicia of cancer or precancer with high sensitivities and high specificities for detection.
摘要:
Methods of the invention generally include measuring a quantitative amount of nucleic acid in a patient sample, and optionally, performing additional disease testing on the patient. Methods of the invention are useful in screening disease in a patient, such as cancer.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for the preparation of stool samples to increase the yield of relevant DNA, and further provides methods for isolating and analyzing target DNA for characteristics indicative of colorectal cancer. Methods for screening patients for the presence of cancerous or pre-cancerous colorectal lesions are also provided.
摘要:
Methods for detecting nucleotide deletions in biological samples are described. Methods of the invention are particularly useful for detecting deletions in regions of polynucleotide repeats. In particular, methods of the invention are useful to detect deletions at the BAT26 locus.
摘要:
Methods for extracting DNA from a biological sample that result in a higher yield of target DNA than conventional methods. More particularly, methods for extracting DNA include exposing the biological sample to inhibitors of DNA degradation.
