Abstract excerpt
Ras gene is one of the oncogenes most commonly detected in human cancers and consists of three families (H-ras, K-ras, N-ras) that are converted to active oncogenes by point mutations occurring in codon 12, 13, or 61. The authors analyzed mutations of these codons in 12 extrahepatic bile duct carcinomas, nine gallbladder carcinomas, and 20 pancreatic tumors (18 pancreatic adenocarcinomas and two islet cell...
