Abstract excerpt
K-RAS mutation is being developed as a cancer biomarker and tumor K-RAS is being used to predict therapeutic response. Yet, levels of K-RAS mutation in normal and pathological tissue samples have not been determined rigorously, nor inter-individual variation in these levels characterized. Therefore, K-RAS codon 12 GAT and GTT mutant fractions were measured in colonic mucosa of individuals without colon cancer,...
