Abstract excerpt
The ras gene is one of the oncogenes most commonly detected in human cancers, and it consists of three families (H-ras, K-ras, N-ras). These genes are converted to active oncogenes by point mutations occurring in either codon 12, 13, or 61. We analyzed mutations of these codons in 23 primary hepatic malignant tumors (12 hepatocellular carcinomas, nine cholangiocarcinomas, and two hepatoblastomas) by a method to...
