Multiplex detection of low-level mutant alleles in the presence of wild-type DNA is useful for several fields of medicine including cancer, pre-natal diagnosis and infectious diseases. We present DiSSeCT, a new technology that enables detection of traces of mutations in cancer and circulating DNA when combined with LNA-PNA-enhanced real time PCR or COLD-PCR.
