K-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 کاملSignificance of the K-ras Gene Codon 12 Point Mutation in Stomach Cancer in Southern India
The frequency and clinicopathologic significance of the K-ras gene point mutation in stomach cancer remain to be defined. We investigated the frequency of K-ras codon 12 point mutations in stomach cancer using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based method in 94 samples and 100 age and sex matched controls. The overall frequency of K-ras codon 12 point mutations in stomach cancer was 3.19% (3/9...
متن کاملVariability of Ha-ras (codon 12) proto-oncogene mutations in diverse thyroid cancers.
Structural alterations to proto-oncogene sequences may be involved in the pathogenesis of human thyroid neoplasms. We studied 128 thyroid tumours (35 benign and 93 malignant) for ras gene point mutations in three different codons (12, 13 and 61) using a restriction fragment length polymorphism technique and direct sequencing of double-stranded DNA on polymerase chain-reaction-amplified tumour D...
متن کاملcodon 12 k-ras mutation detection in iranian patients with colorectal cancer using pcr-rflp method
colorectal cancer (crc) is one of the most common cancers worldwide. understanding of the tumor behavior, in a much closer look, at the molecular level, results in a more effective treatment and accurate prognosis of the disease. from among various genes altered in colorectal cancer k-ras is assumed to be of diagnostic and prognostic significance. k-ras mutations are believed to be a critical e...
