Concurrent Mutations of K-ras Oncogene at Codons 12 and 22 in Colon Cancer
1 Jun 2002
Abstract excerpt
K-ras mutation is the most common oncogenic alteration in various human cancers including colorectal carcinomas. Point mutations have the potential to activate the K-ras gene if they occur in the critical coding sequences. Almost all of these mutations have been localized in codons 12, 13 and 61. We report a case of colon cancer presenting point mutations at both codons 12 and 22 of the K-ras gene. PCR-SSCP and...
