Abstract:
The present invention discloses methods for diagnosing or prognosing a disease or medical condition in a subject by detecting the presence or absence of BRAF mutant nucleic acids from nucleic acids extracted from microvesicles from a biological sample. The present invention also discloses methods for assessing the responsiveness or determining a treatment regimen for a subject in need thereof by detecting the presence or absence of BRAF mutant nucleic acids from nucleic acids extracted from microvesicles from a biological sample. Methods for isolating microvesicles and extracting DNA and/or RNA from the microvesicles are also described.
Abstract:
The invention provides novel methods and kits for isolating nucleic acids from biological samples, including cell-free DNA and/or cell-free DNA and nucleic acids including at least RNA from microvesicles, and for extracting nucleic acids from the microvesicles and/or from the biological samples.
