Product Specifications
Description
The reagents are designed to be used in a clinical diagnostic laboratory by suitably trained personnel testing DNA extracted from whole blood or bone marrow using a PCR-based method and High Resolution Melt (HRM) Analysis
High Resolution Melting (HRM) is a screening technique, which allows the user to determine if the PCR fragment contains a variant or not based upon the dissociation of double-stranded DNA in the presence of an intercalating dye as the temperature increases
KIT mutation expression is found in approximately 80% of cases
RUNX1 cytogenetic mutation is commonly associated with KIT mutation - treatments include chemotherapy as well as inhibitors such as Dasatinib and Radotinib
