NF2 LOSS ( ENST00000338641.10 ) - Associated Disease
- thyroid gland carcinoma
- Source Database
- CIViC Evidence
- Description
- NF2 loss promotes oncogenic RAS-signaling via YAP-dependent transactivation of RAS and sensitizes to MEK inhibition. The authors demonstrate this in (A) isogenic lines derived from C643 cells (HRASG13R, NF2-WT) modified to stably express shNF2, (B) in set of 7 RAS-mutant thyroid cancer cell lines that differ in their NF2 expression levels, and (C) in a Hras-G12V/Nf2-null mouse model.
