Abstract excerpt
The RAS genes encode for members of a large superfamily of guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins that control diverse intracellular signaling pathways to promote cell proliferation.

These mutations invariably result in the gain-of-function of RAS by impairing GTP hydrolysis and are frequently...
