The genetic heterogeneity of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) makes the choice of genetic markers and sequence variation-detection technologies critical to the performance of screening assays. We have previously described the effectiveness of a CRC assay composed of 22 known variants in KRAS, APC, TP53, and BAT-26 (V1). We introduce a new marker formulation (V2) that includes detection of de novo variation in APC, PIK3CA, and CTNNB1, hypermethylated sequences within SMARCA3 and VIM, and a single-base variation within BRAF. We compared the abilities of the V1 and V2 markers to detect aberrant DNA in colorectal neoplasias.
