Thyroid Cancer Mutation Detection Kit

Cat Number: THDNA-RT64

The Thyroid Cancer Mutation Detection Kit is a PCR-based assay that detects somatic mutations in the BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS genes, which are associated with thyroid cancer development, prognosis, and treatment selection.

Mutations in the BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS genes are frequently found in thyroid cancer, the most common endocrine malignancy in the United States. These genetic alterations play a key role in tumor initiation and progression, helping to distinguish malignant thyroid tumors from benign nodules. 

The Thyroid Cancer Mutation Detection Kit uses real-time PCR to accurately detect somatic mutations in the BRAF, KRAS, NRAS, and HRAS genes, even in samples containing a mixture of mutant and wild-type DNA. The Thyroid Cancer Mutation Detection Kit is a qPCR assay designed to detect key thyroid cancer mutations with high sensitivity.

The kit identifies the presence of the mutations in a total of 5 reactions per sample.
