title: ras gene mutations in oral cancer in eastern India.
abstract: Oral tumor specimens (n = 50) from eastern Indian population were studied for the presence of mutations in the H-, K- and N-ras genes using selective oligodeoxynucleotide hybridization and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified products. Mutations in H- and K-ras genes were observed at a frequency of 28 and 33%, respectively, whereas no N-ras mutation was noticed.
