Distribution of APC, K-ras, and p53 mutations in patients with
colorectal cancer. The presence of mutations in APC, K-ras, and
p53 was determined in a cohort of patients with colorectal
cancer (n = 106) by a combination of WAVE
denaturing HPLC analysis and direct sequencing, as described in
Materials and Methods. The percentage of tumors with
each combination of mutations is illustrated.
