Abstract

In vitro DNA amplification followed by oligonucleotide dot blot analysis were used to study RAS gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Fifty-two presentation AML DNAs were screened for mutations in codons 12, 13, and 61 of NRAS and in codons 12 and 61 of KRAS and HRAS. Fourteen (27%) contained mutations--all in NRAS and predominantly in codon 12. The most common amino acid substitution identified was of glycine by aspartic acid at codon 12 (7/18), with a G----A transition being the most common base change (11/18). No particular correlation was observed between disease subtype and the incidence or type of NRAS mutation. In DNA samples from four patients, 2 NRAS mutations were found to coexist. NIH 3T3 focus-formation assays revealed that in each case the mutations were present in different NRAS alleles. We also report the absence of a mutated RAS gene in relapse DNAs of four patients in which a RAS oncogene had been detected at presentation. These observations suggest that RAS mutations arise as part of the evolution of neoplastic transformation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
