BACKGROUND: An activating NRAS p.Q61R (NRASQ61R) somatic mutation occurs in the lesions of patients with kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA). Therapies for KLA patients are limited and since the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway is hyperactivated by NRASQ61R, we evaluated the potency of Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK) inhibitors (trametinib, selumetinib, and cobimetinib) on human NRASQ61R...
