Durable benefit from immunotherapy and accompanied lupus erythematosus in pancreatic adenocarcinoma with DNA repair deficiency
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC7342819
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predisposing, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The presence of the KRAS p.G12V mutation is identified as a common driver mutation in pancreatic cancer, indicating its role in tumorigenesis. Predisposing: The germline mutation PALB2 c.3114-1G>A is noted as likely pathogenic and suggests a potential deficiency in DNA homologous recombination, which can predispose individuals to cancer. Functional: The identification of two deleterious PALB2 alterations, including both a germline and a somatic mutation, suggests functional implications related to DNA repair mechanisms.
