After the extraction of genome DNA from FFPE samples, fragments contained codons 12 and 13 of KRAS exon 2 were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and analyzed by dideoxy sequencing, the KRAS Strip Assay and pyrosequencing. In addition, the sensitivities of the 3 methods were compared on serial dilutions (contents of mutant DNA: 100%,50%,20%, 5%,10%, 5%,1%,0%) of A549 cell line DNA (carrying the codon 12 Gly>Ser mutation) into wild-type DNA (human normal intestinal mucosa). The results of dideoxy sequencing,the KRAS StripAssay and pyrosequencing were analyzed by Chromas Software, Collector forKRAS Strip Assay and the pyrosequencing PyroMarkTM Q24 system, respectively.RESULTS: Among 100 patients, KRAS mutations were identif ied in 34%, 37% and 37% of patients by dideoxy sequencing, the KRAS StripAssay and pyrosequencing, respectively. The sensitivity was highest with the KRAS Strip Assay (1%), followed by pyrosequencing (5%), and dideoxy sequencing was lowest (15%). Six different mutation types were found in this study with 3 main mutations Gly12 Asp (GGT>GAT), Gly12 Val (GGT>GTT) and Gly13 Asp (GGC>GAC). Thirty-three patients were identifi ed to have KRAS mutations by the 3 methods, and a total of 8 patients had conflicting results between 3 methods: 4 mutations not detected by dideoxy sequencing and the KRAS StripAssay were identified by pyrosequencing; 3 mutations not detected by dideoxy sequencing and pyrosequencing were identif ied by the KRAS StripAssay; and 1 mutation not detected by pyrosequencing was conf irmed by dideoxy sequencing and the KRAS StripAssay. Among these discordant results, the results identif ied by dideoxy sequencing were consistent either with the KRAS StripAssay or with pyrosequencing, which indicated that the accuracy of dideoxy sequencing was high. CONCLUSION: Taking a worldwide view of reports and our results,dideoxy sequencing remains the most popular method because of its low cost and high accuracy.展开更多
