Ras mutations in human melanoma: a marker of malignant progression.

The Journal of investigative dermatology - 1 Mar 1994

Ball N J, Yohn J J, Morelli J G, Norris D A, Golitz L E, Hoeffler J P

Abstract excerpt

In this study we address whether there is an association between ras mutations and disease progression in malignant melanoma. DNA was extracted from 100 paraffin-embedded melanomas and sequences around the 12th, 13th and 61st codons of N-, H-, and K-ras were amplified using the polymerase chain r...
