Abstract excerpt
Preliminary studies of RAS mutational activation in human testicular germ cell neoplasms have yielded conflicting results. Whereas two studies of clinical material revealed a significant incidence of N- and KRAS mutations, two studies of a variety of germ cell lines failed to document RAS mutations. To clarify the incidence of RAS mutations in these tumors, we studied archival paraffin-embedded, formalin-fixed...
