- Abstract
This study was conducted on 20 testicular cancer patients who visited the Al-Barraa privet Laboratory and Al- Sharika Labratory / Baghdad, with mean age of (27.77 ± 6.01) years. The ELISA technique was used to detect toxoplasmosis, and tumor biopsies were taken from 6 patients. The PCR amplifications of the "PIK3CA" gene were performed. The primers were used for exon 9 amplification. During the exon 9 PIK3CA gene amplification process, the first pair of the used primers included PIK3CA-9F-1, "5'-GTATTTGCTTTTTCTGTAAATCATCTG-3" and "PIK3CA-9R-1, 5' CATGCTGAGATCAGCCAAATTC-3". The determination of PIK3CA genome was done by nested polymerase Chain Reaction using primers of PIK3CA gene with amplicon size 161bp. The "oligonucleotide" was tested at 0.05, 0.075 and 0.10 μmol/L concentrations, while "LNA oligonucleotide" was tested at 0.075 and 0.0375 μmol/L concentrations for PIK3CA exon 9", which showed optimal detection for the PIK3CA exon 9 LNA mutation.
