Isothermal amplification of circulating tumour-derived DNA (ctDNA) in the blood plasma could provide a rapid and cost effective alternative to PCR and NGS approaches for real-time cancer monitoring. Several variations of isothermal technologies exist, typically designed over unconstrained template length. Here, we compared the amplification efficiency of a compact loop mediated isothermal amplification reaction (termed AS-Mini-LAMP) with polymerase spiral reaction (PSR) suitable for analysis of ctDNA. Utilising 4-primers and targeting a 155 bp template encompassing the estrogen receptor (ESR1) c.1138G>C (p.E380Q) missense mutation. Using synthetic E380Q template DNA and Bst2.0 polymerase, results demonstrate that AS-Mini-LAMP was capable of selective mutant allele DNA amplification to a limit of 1,000 mutant copies, whereas no specific amplification was observed by PSR. The alternative use of Bst3.0 polymerase for either AS-Mini-LAMP or PSR revealed non-canonical events that underpin potentially misleading results when employing isothermal chemistries. In conclusion, AS-Mini-LAMP is more suited to mutation detection than PSR.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
