An Optimized Single Nucleotide Polymorphism-Based Detection Method Suggests That Allelic Variants in the 3’ Untranslated Region of RRAS2 Correlate with Treatment Response in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients

Abstract excerpt

Unlike classical RAS genes, oncogenic mutations on RRAS2 are seldomly found in human cancer. By contrast, RRAS2 is frequently found overexpressed in a number of human tumors, including B and T cell lymphomas, breast, gastric, head and neck cancers. In this regard, we have recently shown that overexpression of wild-type RRAS2 drives the formation of both chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and breast cancer in...
