Distinct patterns of KRAS mutations in colorectal carcinomas according to germline mismatch repair defects and hMLH1 methylation status
4 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
In sporadic colorectal tumours the BRAFV600E is associated with microsatellite instability (MSI-H) and inversely associated to KRAS mutations. Tumours from hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) patients carrying germline mutations in hMSH2 or hMLH1 do not show BRAFV600E, however no consistent data exist regarding KRAS mutation frequency and spectrum in HNPCC tumours. We investigated KRAS in 158 HNPCC...
