Description
Of the 4,562 patients with lung cancers, 30 showed NRAS mutations, which corresponded to 9 different amino acid substitutions. Cell lines were developed for 6 of these mutations (one harboring Q61L, two Q61R, and three Q61K mutations) and 5/6 were sensitive to MEK inhibitors selumetinib and trametinib. One Q61K line was not sensitive to these inhibitors.
