Pyrophosphorolysis-Activated Polymerization Detects Circulating Tumor DNA in Metastatic Uveal Melanoma

Abstract: Purpose: To develop a molecular tool to detect circulating tumor-derived DNA (ctDNA) in the plasma from patients with uveal melanoma as a marker of tumor burden and monitor treatment efficacy.Experimental Design: A real-time PCR was developed on the basis of bidirectional pyrophosphorolysisactivated polymerization (bi-PAP) for the quantification of ctDNA using 3 0 blocked primer pairs specific for the 3 recurrent mutually exclusive mutations of Ga subunits GNAQ and GNA11.Results: Sensitivity and specificity of… Show more

“…The tumor volume at the time of blood analysis was obtained by summing the individual volume of every metastasis, as measured by magnetic resonance imaging (for liver lesions) and=or scanner (for other lesions) by an expert radiologist (VS), as previously reported. 20 Miliary hepatic metastasis was defined as the presence of at least ten liver metastases with a diameter of 5 mm; this feature is frequently seen in uveal melanoma and can be associated with liver macrometastases (>5 mm). 21 Other patient characteristics and survival data were prospectively registered.…”

“…DNA was extracted using the QIAamp circulating nucleic acid kit (Qiagen, Courtaboeuf, France) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Primers used in our study have been described by Madic et al 20 DNA was extracted from 5 mL plasma and eluted in a final volume of 36 mL. Bi-PAP PCR assays were performed on 10 mL DNA in three independent experiments.…”

“…In einem direkten Vergleich zwischen dem Therascreen ARMS assay(Qiagen)-einvonderFDA zugelassener diagnostischer Test für die Detektion von EGFR-und KRAS-Mutationen aus FFPE-Material -und der castPCR (Life Technologies) für KRAS, erreichte die castPCR eine vergleichbar gute Sensitivität und Spezifität [32]. Eine ganze Reihe von ähnlichen, etwas exotischeren Anwendungen wurde bereits publiziert, allerdings hat bisher keine davon eine breite Anwendung gefunden [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
