Mutations in the KRAS gene have been shown to play a key role in the pathogenesis of a variety of human tumours. However the mutational spectrum of KRAS gene differs by organ site. In this study, we have analysed the mutational spectrum of KRAS exon 1 in bladder tumours, colorectal cancer (CRC) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). A total of 366 patients were included in the present study (234 bladder tumours, 48 CRC and 84 CML). The KRAS mutations are absent in BCR/ABL1 positive CML. This result suggests that BCR/ABL1 fusion gene and KRAS mutations were mutually exclusive. The frequency of KRAS mutations in bladder cancer was estimated at 4.27 %. All of mutations were found in codon 12 and 90 % of them were detected in advanced bladder tumours. However the correlation between KRAS mutations and tumour stage and grade does not report a statistical significant association. The KRAS mutations occur in 35.41 % of patients with CRC. The most frequent mutations were G12C, G12D and G13D. These mutations were significantly correlated with histological differentiation of CRC (p = 0.024). Although the high frequency of KRAS in CRC in comparison to bladder cancer, these two cancers appear to have the same mutational spectrum (p > 0.05).
