## Abstract Somatic mutations of the __PIK3CA__ gene have recently been detected in various human cancers, including sporadic colorectal cancer. However, mutations of the __PIK3CA__ gene in hereditary colorectal cancers have not been clarified. To elucidate the mutation status in familial adenomato
Genetic instability related to defective DNA mismatch repair genes may be involved in the pathogenesis of carcinoma in Hereditary Non-Polyposis Colorectal Cancer (HN-PCC). To test that the targets of genetic instability could include critical transforming genes involved in colon tumor progression, w
Our previous studies have shown that human skin cancers occurring on sun-exposed body sites frequently contain activated Ha-ras oncogenes capable of inducing morphologic and tumorigenic transformation of NIH 3T3 cells. In this study, we analyzed human primary squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) and basa
Human colorectal carcinoma tissue sampled from 37 patients, routinely graded into Dukes' stages A, B and C and histologically examined for the level of differentiation, were analyzed for the presence of point mutations in the K-ros oncogene. Seventeen cases out of the 37 analyzed were found to have
