Disease relevance of Point Mutation

  • We previously found that activation of the K-ras oncogene by a point mutation in codon 12 occurs in about one third of human lung adenocarcinomas [1].
  • A specific point mutation in the gene coding for coagulation factor V is associated with resistance to degradation by activated protein C, a recently described abnormality of coagulation that may be associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis [2].
  • To date, more than 300 distinct small deletions, insertions and point mutations, mostly leading to premature termination of translation, have been reported in the breast/ovarian-cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 [3].
  • We show that a point mutation causing hemophilia B changes the amino acid at position -4 in the propeptide region of factor IX from an arginine to a glutamine, which results in the expression of a stable longer protein with 18 additional amino acids of the N-terminal propeptide region still attached [4].
  • We also describe a case of adult human mesothelioma, a tumour derived from the peritoneal lining, that contains a homozygous point mutation within WT1 [5].
