Abstract excerpt
Alterations of ras, c-myc and bcl-1 have been described in hematologic malignancies of lymphoid origin. We investigated the structure of these genes and evaluated the frequency of point mutations involving H-, K- or N-ras in bone marrow samples from patients with multiple myeloma. No abnormalities were detected in the c-myc and bcl-1 genes, but two of 17 patients were found to have N-ras mutations by differential...
