Abstract

EGFR somatic mutations predict sensitivity to targeted therapy with tyrosine kinase inhibitors, gefitinib (Iressa) and erlotinib in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. We have developed a method able to detect 13 most common EGFR mutatons including 9 deletions in exon 19 and point mutations in exons 21 (Leu858Arg) and 18 (Gly719Cys, Glyy^Ala, Gly719Ser). Wild-type seguence amplification was inhlbited using LNA oligonucleotides during polymerase chain reaction to increase test sensitivity and to detect minor tumor cell fractions in clinical specimens. Product of the LNA blocking polymerase chain reaction was hybridized with oligonucleotide probes immobilized in gel on biochip surface. The biochip was tested on 127 DNA samples from patients with non-smail cell lung cancer, mainly adenocarcinoma. Sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products was used as reference. The developed biochip test can reliably detect EGFR mutations irrespective of DNA sampling procedure even in small fractions of mutation-carrying cells.
