Occurrence of Ki-ras and p53 mutations in primary colorectal tumors.

Abstract excerpt

Twenty-four colorectal tumors and their paired mucosa were examined for allele loss on chromosomes 5 and 17, using polymerase chain reaction-amplified DNA, and for mutations in the Ki-ras and p53 genes. In addition, 19 benign polyps were analysed for mutations in the p53 gene. RFLP analysis of the long arm of chromosome 5 indicated an allele loss frequency of 47% for malignant tumors, a value somewhat higher than...
