Abstract excerpt
The prognosis for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains dismal. Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated the nuclear receptor NR5A2 in modulating PDAC risk, but mechanisms for this association are not understood. NR5A2 is a transcription factor that maintains acinar cell identity, and heterozygous loss of Nr5a2 in mice accelerates oncogenic Kras-driven formation of pancreatic...
