Codon 12 and codon 13 mutations at the K-ras gene induce different soft tissue sarcoma types in nude mice.

Abstract excerpt

K-ras codon 12 mutation is more oncogenic in in vitro and in vivo experimental systems than K-ras codon 13 mutation. Moreover, human colorectal tumors bearing a codon 12 mutation are more aggressive, invasive, and metastatic than the same tumor types carrying a codon 13 mutation. However, despite the association between specific sarcoma types and codon 12 or codon 13 mutations, the relationship between the...
