## Abstract Nβras gene activation occurs via single base substitutions in codons 12, 13, and 61. We have developed a rapid screening method, termed allele specific restriction analysis (ASRA), for detection of Nβras mutations at these three critical codons in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patient D

Recently, a putative tumor suppressor gene, PTEN/MMAC1, has been identified at chromosome 10q23.3, which encodes a 403 amino acid dual-specificity phosphatase containing a region of homology to tensin and auxillin. Somatic mutations of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene have been identified in a number of cancer c
## Abstract Gene amplification is a relatively rare event in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Double minutes (dmin) and homogeneously staining regions are well established phenomena as cytogenetic correlates of gene amplification. Recently, however, two additional mechanisms leading to gene amplificat
Mutations at codon I 2, I 3, and 6 I of the HRAS, KRAS, and NRASgenes were evaluated in 99 cases of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) using oligonucleotide hybridization to polymerase chain reacted derived products. Twenty-four mutations were identified in the NRAS gene, I 3 in the KRAS gene, a
## Abstract The __AML1__ gene encodes a transcription factor that, together with its heterodimeric partner CBFB, regulates a number of target genes that are essential for normal hemopoiesis. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), __AML1__ is disrupted not only by chromosomal translocations but also by mu
## Abstract Hypermethylator phenotype, a propensity of tumors to incur nonrandom concurrent methylation, has been described in several tumors, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). More recent studies identified methylation of other tumor suppressor genes, DAPβkinase and SOCS1, singly in AML. We
