K-ras AND p53 MUTATIONS IN HUMAN COLORECTAL ABERRANT CRYPT FOCI
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are putative precursor lesions of colon cancer, recently identified on the methylene blue-stained mucosal surface of human colon. No mutations in K-ras or p53 genes were found by non-radioactive single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis in 14 ACF collected from five patients. Using the more sensitive method of allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for K-ras, 8 of 14 ACF...
