Mutational activation of ras genes is absent in pediatric osteosarcoma.
Activation of ras oncogenes is found in human cancers; overall it is observed in 15% of all neoplasms. The purpose of this study was to assess the extent of involvement of ras oncogenes in osteosarcoma. Tumor samples from a series of 49 pediatric patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma and treated at our institution were evaluated. Paraffin-embedded tumor samples from diagnostic biopsies, from tum...
متن کاملMutational activation of k-ras oncogene in human breast-tumors.
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 human tumors. From preliminary studies it has been found however, that ras mutations are extremely rare in breast tumors and therefore it was of interest to examine the frequency of such mutations. In this study we examined 65 cases of primary breast carcinom...
متن کاملMutational Activation of N- and K-ras Oncogenes
The frequency of Nand K-ras oncogene mutations was investigated in plasma cell dyscrasias. Genomic DNAs from 128 patients were selected for this study: 30 monoclonal gammopathies of undetermined significance, 8 solitary plasmacytomas, 77 multiple myelomas (MM), and 13 plasma cell leukemias (PCL). A two-step experimental approach was devised. All samples were screened for mutations by single-str...
متن کاملActivation of RAS family genes in urothelial carcinoma.
PURPOSE Bladder cancer is the fifth most common malignancy in men in Western society. We determined RAS codon 12 and 13 point mutations and evaluated mRNA expression levels in transitional cell carcinoma cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Samples from 30 human bladder cancers and 30 normal tissues were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism and direct sequenc...
متن کاملExpression of Basophil Activation Markers in Pediatric Asthma
Background: Asthma is very common in children and its diagnosis is based on clinical manifestations, which can be misdiagnosed as other respiratory diseases with similar signs and symptoms. Objective: To analyze the expression of ST2L and CD203c in the diagnosis of pediatric asthma. Methods: Basophils were purified from whole blood samples of patients and healthy controls using Ficol-Paque grad...
