Somatic RIT1 delins in arteriovenous malformations hyperactivate RAS-MAPK signaling amenable to MEK inhibition

Abstract excerpt

Arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are benign vascular anomalies prone to pain, bleeding, and progressive growth. AVM are mainly caused by mosaic pathogenic variants of the RAS-MAPK pathway. However, a causative variant is not identified in all patients. Using ultra-deep sequencing, we identified novel somatic RIT1 delins variants in lesional tissue of three AVM patients. RIT1 encodes a RAS-like protein that can...
