Direct Quantification of Cell-Free, Circulating DNA from Unpurified Plasma
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in body tissues or fluids is extensively investigated in clinical medicine and other research fields. In this article we provide a direct quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) as a sensitive tool for the measurement of cfDNA from plasma without previous DNA extraction, which is known to be accompanied by a reduction of DNA yield. The primer sets were designed to amplify a 90 a...
متن کاملCell-free circulating tumor DNA in cancer.
Cancer is a common cause of death worldwide. Despite significant advances in cancer treatments, the morbidity and mortality are still enormous. Tumor heterogeneity, especially intratumoral heterogeneity, is a significant reason underlying difficulties in tumor treatment and failure of a number of current therapeutic modalities, even of molecularly targeted therapies. The development of a virtua...
متن کاملSOX17 promoter methylation in circulating tumor cells and matched cell-free DNA isolated from plasma of patients with breast cancer.
INTRODUCTION Detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the peripheral blood of patients with solid tumors has been widely studied for the early detection of metastatic spread. We evaluated whether there was an association between the origin of cfDNA and CTCs. We investigated whether SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 17 (SOX17) promoter methylation in CTCs was ass...
متن کاملnon-invasive detection of esophageal cancer using genetic changes in circulating cell-free dna
cell free dna (cfdna) is a genetic biomarker that is present in serum or plasma in high concentration in many types of cancer. identification of circu-lating cancer related dna molecules in serum or plasma is a non-invasive tool for early diagnosis and prognosis in many cancer patients. for this review, study selection and data extraction were performed by the authors. detection of point mutati...
متن کاملUtility of KRAS mutation detection using circulating cell‐free DNA from patients with colorectal cancer
In this study, we evaluated the clinical utility of detecting KRAS mutations in circulating cell-free (ccf)DNA of metastatic colorectal cancer patients. We prospectively recruited 94 metastatic colorectal cancer patients. Circulating cell-free DNA was extracted from plasma samples and analyzed for the presence of seven KRAS point mutations. Using the Invader Plus assay with peptide nucleic acid...
