Mutations of members of the ras family are among the most common oncogene mutations found in multiple myeloma (MM). We have examined the mutational status of the N- and K-ras genes at codons 12, 13, and 61 in 160 newly diagnosed MM patients enrolled on the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) phase III clinical trial E9486. The total incidence of ms mutations was found to be 39% of the samples analyzed. Five patients showed evidence of more than one mutation. We obtained 22 marrow samples from patients at the time of disease progression or relapse, for whom a ms mutation was identified at diagnosis. In all cases, the res mutation of the disease progression sample was identical to that found at diagnosis. In contrast, three of 25 patients who did not show any ms mutation at diagnosis acquired a res mutation at the time of disease progression. No significant association was observed between any ras mutation and stage of disease, beta(2)-microglobulin levels. labeling index, or protein type. The mean tumor burden and median survival for patients with mutations of N-ras was indistinguishable from patients with no ras mutations. However, patients with K-ras mutations had a significantly higher mean bone marrow tumor burden at diagnosis than patients with no ras mutations (57% v 36%, P
