Frequent ras gene mutations in squamous cell cervical cancer.

Abstract:

:Eighty samples of cervical invasive squamous cell carcinoma were examined for ras gene mutations using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) followed by restriction enzyme digestion. We found 28 (35%) cervical cancers contained ras mutations at H-ras codon 12, 49 (61%) at K-ras codon 12, and 5 (6%) at K-ras codon 13. There were no significant differences in incidence of the ras gene mutations among different histologic grades or clinical stages of the cancer (P > 0.05). This result suggests that ras mutation may be an important step involved in a substantial number of cervical carcinoma. The interaction of ras with other genes and/or events may also be involved in pathogenesis of this malignancy.
