Abstract excerpt
A variety of human tumors have been studied for ras mutations to date. However, little is known about the prevalence and significance of ras gene activation in adrenal neoplasms. Recently, a study of 10 primary human pheochromocytomas found no evidence for ras mutations. To our knowledge no survey of ras mutations in adrenocortical neoplasms has been reported. Therefore, we analyzed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)...
