qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Array: Human Colon Cancer
The Human Colon Cancer qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Array is a translational research tool that allows rapid, accurate, and comprehensive profiling of the top somatic mutations in human colon cancer samples in the following genes: APC, BRAF, CTNNB1/beta-catenin, FBXW7, KRAS, PIK3CA, SRC, and P53. These mutations warrant extensive investigation to enhance the understanding of carcinogenesis and identify potential drug targets. Numerous research studies have demonstrated the utility of individual and multiple somatic mutation status information in identifying key signaling transduction disruptions. For example, the mutation status of the EGFR and KRAS genes can predict the physiological response to certain drugs targeting these molecules. The Human Colon Cancer qBiomarker Somatic Mutation PCR Array, with its comprehensive content coverage, is designed for the study of mutations in the context of colon cancer and has the potential for discovery and verification of drug target biomarkers for this cancer type and other cancer types in which these mutations have been identified. This array includes 86 DNA sequence mutation assays designed to detect the most frequent, functionally verified, and biologically significant mutations in human colon cancer. These mutations were chosen from curated, comprehensive somatic mutation databases and peer-reviewed scientific literature, and represent the most frequently recurring somatic mutations compiled from over 29,000 colon cancer samples. The simplicity of the product format and operating procedure allows routine somatic mutation profiling in any research laboratory with access to real-time PCR instruments

APC: 34 Assays
The most commonly detected APC inactivation mutations are mainly composed of truncation mutations (due to nonsense mutations and frameshift mutations) and point mutations between codons 1250 and 1578.
BRAF: 1 Assay
In colon cancer, the BRAF mutation that leads to increased kinase activity, p. V600E mutation, is the most important to test.
CTNNB1: 5 Assays
The most frequently detected CTNNB1/beta-catenin mutations result in abnormal signaling in the WNT signaling pathway. The mutated codons are mainly several serine/threonine residues targeted for phosphorylation by GSK-3beta.
FBXW7: 1 Assay
The mutations queried by these assays lay in either the third or fourth repeat of the protein's WD40 domain, typically involved in protein-protein interactions.
KRAS: 17 Assays
The mutation assays include the most frequently occurring mutations in KRAS codons 12, 13, and 61. Mutations at these positions result in reduced intrinsic GTPase activity and/or cause KRAS to become unresponsive to RasGAP.
PIK3CA: 7 Assays
The most frequently occurring PIK3CA mutations mainly belong to two classes: gain-of-function kinase domain activating mutations and helical domain mutations that mimic activation by growth factors.
SRC: 1 Assay
SRC is a proto-oncogene and a tyrosine-protein kinase that plays a role in the regulation of embryonic development and cell growth. Mutations in this gene could be involved in the malignant progression of colon cancer.
TP53: 20 Assays
The most frequently detected somatic mutations in TP53 are largely composed of DNA-binding domain mutations which disrupt either DNA binding or protein structure.
