Abstract

Objective. To investigate the K-ras mutation pattern in six pancreatic cancer cell lines from Chinese patients. Methods. All six cell lines were analyzed for mutations in exon 1 of the K-ras gene by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and direct sequencing. Results. All 6 pancreatic cancer cell lines had GGT → GTT mutations at K-ras codon 12 but no mutations at codon 13. Conclusion. The unique GGT → GTT mutation at codon 12 plays a potential role in the carcinogenesis of pancreatic cancers in Chinese.
