Functional characterisation of a novel class of in-frame insertion variants of KRAS and HRAS
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC6547725
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predictive
Justification: Oncogenic: The text describes several RAS variants, including classical oncogenic mutations in KRAS and NRAS, and indicates that these mutations are associated with increased GTP loading and enhanced RAS signaling. Functional: The evidence discusses the impact of VMOS RAS variants on GTP hydrolysis and their interaction with GEFs and GAPs, suggesting alterations in their functional properties compared to wild type proteins. Predictive: The analysis of the VMOS RAS variants indicates potential changes in signaling capabilities, which could be used to predict the biological behavior of these variants in a clinical context.
