Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the N-ras gene are found in one-third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia. The N-ras mutations could serve as markers for residual cells, if a highly sensitive method for detecting the mutations was available. We applied a new method, solid-phase minisequencing, to analyze bone-marrow cells from 16 patients with acute myeloid leukemia for mutations in codon 12, 13 and 61 of the N-ras gene. In the...
