Abstract excerpt
The K-ras gene is mutated in > or =75% of human pancreatic adenocarcinomas and in a number of hyperplastic ductal lesions from noncarcinoma patients. In this study, the incidence of K-ras mutation was determined in a spectrum of focal proliferative pancreatic lesions to evaluate their preneoplastic significance. PCR-based mutation-enriched RFLP analysis was used to identify mutations in codon 12. Immunostaining...
