Abstract excerpt
The Ki-ras proto-oncogene is converted into an active oncogene by mutations in codon 12, 13, or 61. The incidence of mutations in the Ki-ras oncogene in colorectal adenomas and primary colorectal carcinomas has been shown to be 50-75 and 40-65%, respectively. To determine the role activation of the Ki-ras oncogene plays in the progression of colorectal carcinoma, we analyzed DNA from 11 nude-mouse xenografts and...
