In the study, to analyse a K-ras oncogene mutated at codon 12 in 24 patients with cholangiocarcinomas, four (16.67%) of them contained this point mutation. One of 4 was peripheral and the others were hilar tumors. There was no significant relationship between mutation and clinical features in terms of age, sex, endemic area, tumor location, tumor grading and pathological features. In our study, the incidence of K-ras codon 12 mutation in Thai patients with cholangiocarcinoma was lower than that found in British and Japanese patients. The discrepancy of incidence and type of the mutations, in different races and environment probably indicates that there is/are different etiologic mechanism(s) in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma.

D011905 Genes, ras Family of retrovirus-associated DNA sequences (ras) originally isolated from Harvey (H-ras, Ha-ras, rasH) and Kirsten (K-ras, Ki-ras, rasK) murine sarcoma viruses. Ras genes are widely conserved among animal species and sequences corresponding to both H-ras and K-ras genes have been detected in human, avian, murine, and non-vertebrate genomes. The closely related N-ras gene has been detected in human neuroblastoma and sarcoma cell lines. All genes of the family have a similar exon-intron structure and each encodes a p21 protein.

D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).
