Abstract excerpt
The genetic etiology of serous and mucinous ovarian carcinomas was investigated in 76 affected patients, focusing on the possible loss of heterozygosity (LOH) involving chromosome band 6q27 and K-RAS mutations at codon 12. The incidence of LOH in 6q27 (6q27 LOH) was 41% in 64 informative cases; 53% (20/38) and 23% (6/26) in cases of serous ovarian carcinoma and in those of mucinous ovarian carcinoma,...
