Abstract excerpt
RAS genes, predominantly N-RAS and K-RAS, have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), due to activating RAS mutations detectable in approximately 20% of AML patients. In the present study, RAS proteins were detected in their activated, GTP-bound form, in AML patients (n = 10) not expressing mutated forms of H-RAS, K-RAS and N-RAS. Further analysis revealed the simultaneous presence...
