Abstract excerpt
NRAS belongs to the RAS family of GTPases. In colorectal cancer (CRC), NRAS mutations are rare compared to KRAS, but may lead to worse outcomes. We report the functional characterization of the novel NRAS mutants-G48C, Q43K, and E37K-identified in Filipino young-onset CRC patients. Unlike previously characterized NRAS mutants with no apparent effects on cell proliferation, these mutants enhanced proliferation of...
