Evaluation of Cast-PCR and Sanger analysis Limit of Detection (LOD).
For each of the BRAF mutations analyzed we determined the limit of detection by analyzing dilutions at different ratio of mutated (case 2 and case 23) and not mutated (case 40) clinical samples. (a) Cast-PCR plots for BRAFV600E mutation. (b) Cast-PCR plots for BRAFV600K mutation. (c) Sanger analysis of samples of different BRAFV600E:Not mutated ratio; (d) Sanger analysis of different BRAFV600K : Not mutated ratios.
