Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The RAS/RAF/MEK/MAP kinase pathway is essential to intracellular signaling transduction regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and death. We investigated the occurrence of exon 15 BRAF and KRAS codon 12 mutations among Greek patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS: Sixty-one samples from patients with sporadic colorectal adenocarcinomas were studied for exon 15 BRAF mutations. DNA from...
