Embodiment 1

[0039] 1. Primers: The inventor found a pair of primers through a large number of exploratory experiments KRAS Specific primer pair for gene codon 4-14 mutation KRAS -76-F / KRAS -76-R; the sequence is as follows:

[0040] KRAS -76-F: AGGCCTGCTGAAAATGACTG (shown in SEQ ID NO: 1);

[0041] KRAS -76-R: GCAAGAGTGCCTTGACGATA (shown in SEQ ID NO: 2);

[0042] 2. Test method: firstly, the inventors verified the mixture of plasmids with different ratios of mutation ratios to see whether the mutation rate of 0.1% could be detected as stated in the literature. The detection sensitivity of the method according to the invention was determined.

[0043] 2.1. Use plasmid standards (100% mutant plasmid and 100% wild type plasmid) to configure mixed plasmids with different mutation ratios, 100% mutation, 90% mutation, 80% mutation, 70% mutation, 60% mutation, 50% mutation , 40% mutation, 30% mutation, 20% mutation, 10% mutation, 5% mutation, 2.5% mutation, 1% mutation, 0.5% mutation, 0...

Embodiment 3

[0059]DNA samples with severe fragmentation and poor quality are selected and detected using the method of the present invention. The experimental method, experimental apparatus and relevant reaction conditions are as shown in Example 1. Poor quality DNA samples are defined as: samples whose initial DNA concentration is lower than 50ng / μl, or the ratio of ultraviolet absorption A260 / A280 is lower than 1.6 or greater than 2.0. Select the samples described in Table 2 according to the above requirements.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the fields of biotechnology and medicine, and specifically relates to a method for detecting changes in low-abundance molecules, which is a method using a digital high-resolution melting curve (hereinafter referred to as digital? HRM), combined with a pair of specific primers KRAS -76-F / KRAS- 76-R, detection KRAS A method for mutation of codons 4-14 of the gene. The method of the present invention can realize the detection of all samples to be tested (including old paraffin samples with poor quality, severe fragmentation or long storage time) in low cost, fast and high sensitivity. KRAS Rapid and accurate detection of gene codon 4-14 mutations.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of biotechnology and medicine, in particular to a method for detecting changes in low-abundance molecules, which is a detection method using digitalHRM KRAS A method for mutation of codons 4-14 of the gene. Background technique [0002] There are three genes in the ras gene family associated with human tumors—— HRAS, KRAS and NRAS , located on chromosomes 11, 12 and 1, respectively. KRAS It is also known as the p21 gene because it encodes a 21kD ras protein. In the ras gene, KRAS Most important in human cancer, it is a molecular switch that, when normal, controls pathways that regulate cell growth; when abnormal, it causes cells to continue growing and prevents them from self-destructing. It participates in intracellular signal transmission when KRAS When the gene is mutated, the gene is permanently activated, unable to produce normal ras protein, causing intracellular signal transduction disorder, cell proli...
