title: Real-time PCR assay with high resolution melting for EGFR and BIM mutation of lung cancer.
abstract: To establish and develop a reliable and simple Real-time PCR assay with high resolution melting (Real-time PCR-HRM) method for detection epidermal growth factor (EGFR) and BIM mutation of lung cancer and looking for effective targeted drugs to control lung cancer.
  
  
  
  A total of 6858 participants (2538 cases with lung cancer and 4275 healthy controls who took part in the study by doing the physical examination in Shanghai Xuhui community) were recruited in the study. Clinical characteristics and 5 ml peripheral blood were collected from each participant, and the DNA has been extracted, which were determined the EGFR and BIM mutation by Real-time PCR-HRM. Data were recorded and Statistical analyses.
  
  
  
  All samples completed the study. BIM deletion polymorphism was no related with age, sex, and smoking or EGFR mutation.
  
  
  
  There were no relations among BIM deletion polymorphism, EGFR mutation or lung cancer risk. HRM is a novel procedure and provides rapid, sensitive, specific and simultaneous detection for gene mutation of cancer patients for predicting the efficacy of targeted therapy.
