Ki-ras codon 12 point mutational activation in Hong Kong colorectal carcinoma patients.
This study investigated the frequency and importance of Ki-ras codon 12 mutations in 99 Hong Kong Chinese colorectal carcinoma specimens by allele-specific oligonucleotide hybridization. The frequency of mutations detected was 30% and the most common mutation observed resulted in aspartic acid substitutions. Previous studies showed that specific Ki-ras mutations have been significantly associated with prognosis. Ki-ras codon 12 point mutational activation in CRC was significantly associated with the differentiation status of tumors in this study. Ethnic differences in the patterns of Ki-ras codon 12 point mutations were observed.
