[Activation of protooncogenes by point mutations in hematological malignancies].

Abstract excerpt

The activation of protooncogenes (ras, fms and myc genes) by point mutations in hematological malignancies are described in this review. Ras mutations are found in a variety of human malignancies at codon 12, 13, and 61. Generally, N-ras mutations are frequent in hematological malignancies. Fms mutation at codon 301 and 969, which are seen in 10 to 20% cases of AML and MDS, increase tyrosine kinase activity of...
