Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Ras-GTPase-activating proteins (RasGAP), notably NF1 and RASA1, mediate negative control of the RAS/MAPK pathway. We evaluated clinical and molecular characteristics of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) with RASA1 mutations in comparison with NF1-mutated cases.Experimental Design: Large genomic datasets of NSCLC [MSK-IMPACT dataset at MSKCC (n = 2,004), TCGA combined lung cancer dataset (n = 1,144)]...
