Analysis of K-ras gene mutation in 358 cases of lung cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To analyze the mutation situation of K‐ras gene in 358 cases of lung cancer to provide the guidance for the personalized therapy of lung cancer .Methods The nested and low denatured temperature compound PCR (COLD‐PCR) method was used to analyze the K‐ras mutations situation in 358 patients with lung cancer .Results In 358 lung cancer patients ,the total mutation frequency of K‐ras gene was 8 .10% .The mutation rates were 2 .13% in 94 plasma samples ,9 .60% in 250 tumor tissue samples and 7 .14% in 14 pleural and ascites samples .The mutation types included G12C ,G12D ,G12A ,G12V ,G13D and Q61H ,the mutation rate had no statistical difference among 3 kinds of samples (P= 0 .064 8) ;the mutation rate was 6 .96% in male patients and 8 .59% in female patients ,the difference was not statistically significant (P= 0 .574 0) ;the mutation rates were 4 .76% in the patients aged 30 - < 45 years old ,5 .34% in the patients aged 45 - < 60 years old and 9 .22% in the patients aged ≥ 60 years old , the differences were not statistically significant (P = 0 .250 3) .Conclusion The mutation types of K‐ras gene are mainly G12C , G12D ,G12V and G13D .The mutation rate of K‐ras gene has no significant differences among different types of sample ,different genders and different ages .

Analysis of K-ras gene mutation status in 560 Chinese colorectal cancer patients / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To analyze the mutation status of K‐ras gene in colorectal cancer patients ,further more ,to provide guid‐ance for personalized therapy for colorectal cancer .Methods Nested and COLD‐PCR were used to detect the K‐ras mutations in 560 patients with colorectal cancer .Results In 560 colorectal cancer patients ,the total positive rate of K‐ras gene mutations was 27 .08% ,the mutation rate was 0 in 128 plasma samples and it was 27 .08% in 432 tissue samples .The mutate sites were G12S , G12C ,G12D ,G12A ,G12V ,G13R ,G13C ,G13D ,Q61K ,Q61L ,there were significant differences existed in different samples (P <0 .000 1) ;the mutation rate of 362 male patients was 20 .44% and the types of mutation include G12S ,G12C ,G12D ,G12V ,G13R , G13C ,G13D ,Q61K and Q61L .The mutation frequency was 21 .72% in 198 female patients ,the mutation points were G12S ,G12C , G12D ,G12A ,G12V ,G13R and G13D .There were no significant difference between different sex (P= 0 .722 7) ;the mutation fre‐quency was 20% in 80 youth patients including G12S ,G12C ,G12D ,G12V ,G13D and the mutation rate was 33 .07% in 127 middle age patients ,the points of mutation were G12S ,G12D ,G12A ,G12V ,G13R ,G13C ,G13D ,Q61K ,Q61L ,the mutation frequency was 16 .71% in 353 old age patients ,the types of mutation include G12C ,G12D ,G12V ,G13R ,G13D ,the difference was significant a‐mong different age patients (P= 0 .000 5) .Conclusion The total rate of mutations is 27 .08% in 560 colorectal cancer patients ,and the main points of mutation is G12D ,G12V ,G13D .There are significant differences in different type of samples as well as in differ‐ent ages ,but no statistical significance in different sex patients .

Analysis of K-ras gene mutation status in 314 Chinese patients with gastric cancer / 国际检验医学杂志

Objective To analyze the mutation status of K‐ras gene in the patients with gastric cancer to provide the guidance for the personalized therapy of gastric cancer .Methods The nested and Cold‐PCR were adopted to analyze the K‐ras gene mutation status in 314 cases of gastric cancer .Results In 314 cases of gastric cancer ,the total mutation rate of K‐ras gene was 7 .32% .The mutation rate was 0% in 19 plasma samples and 7 .80% in 295 tissue samples .The types of mutation included G12D ,G13D ,G12V , the mutation rate of K‐ras gene had no statistically significant difference between the two kinds of different samples (P=0 .206 1);the mutation rate was 6 .79% in 221 male patients ,the types of mutation included G12D ,G13D ,the mutation frequency is 8 .60% in 221 female patients ,the types of mutation include G12D ,G13D ,G12V ,the mutation rate of K‐ras gene had no statistically signifi‐cant difference between different genders (P=0 .573 1);the mutation rate was 6 .67% in 45 youth patients ,the types of mutation included G12D ,G13D ,the mutation rate was 7 .87% in 127 middle age patients ,the types of mutation included G12D ,G13D ,G12V , the mutation rate was 7 .04% in 142 old age patients ,the types of mutation included G12D ,G13D ,there was no statistically signifi‐cant difference among different age patients (P=0 .995 3) .Conclusion The mutation rate of K‐ras gene is 7 .32% in 314 cases of gastric cancer ,the main mutation types include G12D and G13D ,and the mutation rate of K‐ras gene has no significant difference a‐mong different samples ,between different sexes and among different ages .
