Abstract excerpt
Ras mutations play an important role in many human tumors. They usually occur at only three codons (12, 13 and 61) of the three ras gene family members and lead to altered proteins resulting in a constitutively activated downstream signal cascade. We have examined the N-ras gene status in Hodgkin's disease (HD). Little is known about the pathogenetic events leading to malignant phenotype in HD. Since Hodgkin and...
