Abstract excerpt
To elucidate the molecular basis for endocrine tumorigenesis, ras mutations in human endocrine tumors were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis. Mutations of the H-, K-, N-ras genes were examined in genomic DNAs from 169 successfully amplified primary endocrine tumors out of 189 samples. Four out of 24 thyroid follicular adenomas analyzed contained...
