DNA was prepared from cell line WM3619. WM3619 is a metastatic human melanoma cell line that displays a mesenchymal morphology. This cell line contains a Q61R mutation at position 61 in the N-RAS gene. The Q61R is the most common NRAS mutation found in melanoma that is thought to occur due to UV and radiation exposure. This mutation leads to production of a constitutively active N-RAS protein that directs cells to grow and divide constantly. WM3619 cells produce xenograft tumors when injected into immunocompromised mice.
