Abstract excerpt
Activation of the N- and K-ras proto-oncogenes is the most common molecular abnormality in myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In retrospective studies, approximately 3-36% of MDS patients were reported to harbor a mutated ras proto-oncogene, with some series suggesting the presence of ras-mutations are associated with progressive disease and a poor prognosis. Since hematopoietic...
