Zusammenfassung:Described herein are methods and assays relating to the detection of NRAS and/or BRAF alterations (e.g. variations in copy number and expression level, and/or the presence of mutations, including point mutations). Existing methods are limited in their clinical usefulness by, e.g., limited sensitivity, inter-lab discordance, or inability to provide the necessary multiplex ability. The methods and assays provided herein permit multimodal, multiplex assaying for faster, more cost-effective testing and screening of patients, permitting improved healthcare.
