Point Mutations on the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (KRAS) have been identified as an important predictive biomarker for response to cancer therapy targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor. KRAS mutations are prevalent in up to 40 % of all colorectal carcinomas, and routinely conducted KRAS genotyping is becoming mandatory to predict therapy success and to reduce therapy costs. We report a low-cost, disposable and ready-to-use centrifugal microfluidic cartridge (termed GeneSlice) containing preloaded primers and probes. The GeneSlice cartridge enables the parallel detection of the seven most relevant KRAS point mutations by allele-specific real-time PCR. It represents a cost effective alternative to dideoxy-sequencing with a faster time-to-result (similar to 2 h versus up to 20 h in case of dd-sequencing). Microfluidic processing of the GeneSlice along with allele-specific amplification and real-time detection are conducted in a slightly modified, commercially available PCR thermocycler. Intra-chip standard deviation of C-q values on the GeneSlices is negligible (GeneSlice 1: C-q, std. dev. = 0.13; GeneSlice 2: C-q, std. dev=0.26). In 23 of 24 experiments, the data for genotyping 6 cancer cell lines (n = 4 per cell line) agreed with dd-sequencing. Additionally, DNA derived from microdissected formalin-fixed and paraffin embedded colorectal carcinomas of two cases was genotyped correctly and reproducibly (n = 3 per patient; one GeneSlice excluded from evaluation). The GeneSlice therefore clearly demonstrated the potential to become a valuable tool for routine diagnostics of KRAS mutations by reducing costs and hands-on time.
