Clinical Significance
KRAS is a proto-oncogene and a member of the RAS gene family. The protein encoded by this gene is related to the formation, proliferation, migration, spread and angiogenesis of tumors. KRAS mutations activate MAPK downstream signaling pathways, leading to rapid cell division and proliferation.
KRAS gene has a high mutation rate in various tumors, and it is present in 30%-40% of colorectal cancer patients. The common mutation sites were codons 12 and 13 of exon 2 of KRAS gene. KRAS mutation reduces the efficacy of cetuximab and has a poor prognosis.
