Abstract excerpt
Ras genes are converted to active oncogenes by point mutations occurring in either codon 12, 13 or 61. We used polymerase chain reaction and direct sequence method for the analysis of these mutations. We examined 13 hepatocellular carcinomas, 8 cholangiocarcinomas, 2 hepatoblastomas and 1 biliary cystadenocarcinoma. Of these tumors, ras gene mutations were detected solely in cholangiocarcinomas....
