Abstract excerpt
Point mutations of the N-ras proto-oncogenes have been previously detected in 20% to 60% of samples of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), but the clinical significance of these mutations is presently unclear. We directly sequenced polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplified N-ras fragments to determine the frequency of N-ras point mutations in 55 adult patients with de novo AML. Mutations were present in 8 of 55...
