Abstract
Our study optimized METex14 skipping mutation detection by analyzing 223 Oncomine™ Focus Assay-positive cases using Pan Lung Cancer PCR Panel and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR. Among the 11 METex14 skipping mutation-positive cases (average read counts: 1390), 2 with Oncomine™ Focus Assay read counts of 2540 and 10,177 were positive on all platforms. Those with Oncomine™ Focus Assay read counts ranging from 179 to 612 tested negative elsewhere. Specimens with low ratios (average ratio: 0.12% for nine cases) may yield false-positive results. Our results suggested that monitoring read counts and ratios and validating the results with RT-PCR are crucial to prevent false positives.
