Description
In this screen of 218 solid cancer cell lines, BRAF mutations were predictive of response to the MEK inhibitor GSK1120212. 26 of these cell lines had the BRAF V600E mutation, one cell line had a G469A mutation, one had G596R mutation and one had an unspecified mutation. Also of note, in RAF/RAS mutant colon cancer cell lines, co-occurring PIK3CA/PTEN mutations led to a cytostatic response rather than a cytotoxic response.
