Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that mutations in the human ras gene family convert these genes into active oncogenes. In the present study using in vitro gene amplification by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and mutation detection by the oligonucleotide hybridization assay, a total of 86 colorectal cancers were analyzed for the point mutations at codon 12 and 13 of K-ras genes. Mutations were present in 33 of the 86...
