We analyzed activating mutations of N-ras and K-ras by the polymerase chain reaction and oligonucleotide hybridization in hematological disorders. Activating mutations of these codons were detected in 4 of 20 cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 15 of 77 cases of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
