Abstract excerpt
K-ras and p53 gene mutations are known to occur in high frequencies in sporadic colorectal cancers, but findings are inconsistent in hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). We compared K-ras codon 12 and 13 gene mutations and p53 protein overexpression in 48 HNPCC (positive for Amsterdam criteria) and 59 sporadic colorectal adenomas, to examine whether they may represent similar or different molecular...
