Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that some mutations in codons 12 and 13 of the K-ras gene are associated with the progression of colorectal adenomas to carcinomas. The aim of this study was to develop a rapid, colorimetric assay for K-ras point mutations commonly associated with colorectal cancer. K-ras exon 1 was amplified from colorectal tumor DNA and K-ras activating mutations detected using an oligonucleotide ligation...
