High Frequency of Codon 12 but not Codon 13 and 61 K-ras Gene Mutations in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Breast in a South Indian Population.
BACKGROUND Ras genes are thought to play an important role in human cancer since they have been found to be activated frequently in several types of tumors including breast cancer, where the overall incidence of K-RAS oncogene activation is 0-10%. Evaluation of K-RAS gene not only for mutational frequency but also for mutation types in this downstream signaling gene pathway is necessary to dete...
متن کاملMaspin Gene Expression in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of Breast
Background: The breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women, on the other hand absence of myoepithelial cells play a pivotal role in pathogenesis of this cancer. Thus we aimed to investigate the possible abilities of the molecular assay technique to find a relationship between mammary serine protease inhibitor (Maspin) gene expression possibly secreted by my...
متن کاملK-ras oncogene codon 12 point mutations in testicular cancer.
A significant association between N-ras oncogene activating point mutations and testicular cancer has recently been reported. We have studied DNA samples from the blood and fresh tumor tissues of 17 Norwegian testicular cancer patients (11 seminomas/6 nonseminomas). Point mutations in K-ras-2 and N-ras exons 1 and 2 were studied by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and by oligonucl...
متن کاملPeutz-Jeghers polyps, dysplasia, and K-ras codon 12 mutations.
BACKGROUND Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) is a rare, autosomal dominant, polyposis syndrome, associated with an increased risk of gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal malignancy. Occasionally dysplasia occurs in PJS polyps. AIMS In colorectal carcinomas, mutations in codon 12 of the K-ras oncogene are common and are found at similar frequency in precursor adenomas. Therefore, K-ras codon ...
متن کاملA preliminary study of microsatellite instability analysis in different genotypes of p53 codon 72 in breast invasive ductal carcinomas
Abstract Background: The polymorphic variants at codon 72 of the p53 gene, encoding either proline or arginine at residue 72, produce marked change in the structure of p53. From the evidence that the DNAmismatch repair system and p53 interact to maintain genomic integrity, we hypothesized that the codon 72 variation may influence the prevalence of microsatellite instability a featur...
