KRAS Mutation Analysis by PCR
Use
The KRAS Mutation Analysis Assay is a real-time PCR-based assay designed to detect somatic mutations in exons 2, 3 and 4 of the KRAS gene, including Exon 2 mutations G12C, G12A/D/R/V/S and G13D; Exon 3 mutations A59E/G/T and Q61H/L/R; and Exon 4 mutations K117N/R/E and A146T/P/V. This information supports clinical decision-making in cancers where KRAS mutation status informs targeted therapy choices.
