REAGENT KIT FOR QUANTITATIVELY DETECTING THE MUTATIONS OF EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR(EGFR)

摘要

The present invention relates to a detection method and a detection kit for EGFR gene mutations, which relates to the therapeutic efficacy of molecular-targeted anti-cancer drugs. Particularly, the present invention relates to a fluorescent quantitative PCR method and kit for detecting mutations at hotspots of EGFR gene, together with the use thereof. The present invention detects the mutations at specific sites of EGFR gene, and can predict the therapeutic efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Therefore, it can provide a guidance to individualize treatments for cancer patients.
