In most cases the analysis of DNA mutations in presence of a high excess of wild type DNA fail because of the low sensitivity of the performed method for mutation detection. Here we describe the new high-sensitive and non-radioactive HD-PCR method (for HeteroDuplex-PCR). In opposite to the conventio

Using different molecular techniques, DNA has been shown to be present in plasma of patients with several types of tumors. Mutations of TP53 are the most common genetic changes in human cancers. We investigated the presence of TP53 gene mutations in plasma DNA of breast and small cell lung cancer pa
Colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the western world. About 60,000 Americans die of colorectal cancer each year. The annual incidence rate in Israel is 40 per 100,000 persons, namely a total of 2,000 new cases each year. An important step in the progression of colorectal can
