Abstract excerpt
K-ras and p53 gene mutations in intestinal-type gastric carcinomas from a high-incidence area around Florence, Italy, were studied by single strand conformation polymorphism and DNA sequencing analysis. Single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis of K-ras indicated aberrant bands in 13 of 34 cases. Sequencing revealed point mutations in 7 (including two at a previously unreported site in codon 11), a...
