      Predictive: The study discusses how the combination of a YAP inhibitor and LY3009120 enhances sensitivity to treatment in KRAS-mutant pancreatic cancer, indicating a correlation with treatment response. The mention of "increased sensitivity to LY3009120" directly relates to the predictive nature of the variant's response to therapy.

      Prognostic: The abstract states that "reduced YAP expression closely correlates with longer relapse-free and overall survival of patients," suggesting that YAP expression levels can serve as a prognostic indicator for patient outcomes independent of therapy.
