TY - T1 - Diagnostic and prognostic role of expressed KRAS and BRAF mutations in MAPK/ERK-driven cancers SN - / UR - URN:ISBN:978-951-51-7369-0; http://hdl.handle.net/10138/330388 T3 - A1 - Dang, Kien A2 - PB - Helsingin yliopisto Y1 - 2021 LA - en AB - The aim of this doctoral thesis was to utilize molecular biology techniques to detect expressed KRAS and BRAF mutations in samples at high sensitivity and specificity and evaluate the clinical role of the RNA expression of these mutations in certain MAPK/ERK-driven cancers. In the early phase of the study, we developed a novel method named extendable blocking probe reverse transcription (ExBP-RT) for detecting expressed mutations at the mRNA level. With this method we were able to detect mutatio... VO - IS - SP - OP - KW - clinical Chemistry N1 - PP - ER -
