“…Based on the above findings and a functional report of the interconnectedness of the KRAS and TP53 pathways [ 22 ], we hypothesize that KRAS pathway alterations might represent a widely underestimated player in MPM. In addition to our original research report, analyzing KRAS and TP53 mutations in human and experimental MPM [ 18 ], here we examine the whole KRAS pathway as proposed elsewhere [ 22 ] (indicated in Figure 1 a and including the following genes: KRAS, EGFR, NF2, BRAF, MAP2K1, MAPK1, PIK3CA, AKT1, RASSF1, STK3, LATS1, MDM2, TP53 ). For this, the relevant literature is reviewed, and publicly available datasets are analyzed as follows.…”
