Abstract excerpt
Mutations in KRAS gene are among the critical transforming alterations occurring during CRC tumorigenesis. Here we screened 51 primary CRC tumors from Tunisia for mutations in KRAS (codons 12 and 13) using PCR-direct sequencing. Our aim was to analyze tumor mutation frequencies and spectra in Tunisian patients with CRC. KRAS status and mutation site/type were than correlated with familial and clinicopathologic...
