Frequent polymorphism of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma gene in colorectal cancer containing wild-type K-ras gene.

Abstract excerpt

We analyzed the K-ras gene mutation and the polymorphism of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) gene, which is known as a master gene for adipocyte differentiation and a tumor suppressor gene, in patients with colorectal cancer by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. We detected a mutation of K-ras gene at codon 12 in 8 of 39 colorectal cancers. We also...
