“…KRAS is the most frequently mutated isoform among the RAS family of genes and is associated with an overall percentage of 75–83% of all RAS-mutated cancers, whereas NRAS is detected in only 8–17% and HRAS in 3–7% of all cases. Human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) carry the highest frequency of KRAS mutations (about 95%) whereas in colon and lung cancers it is approximately 50% and 35%, respectively [ 10 , 12 , 13 ]. A high KRAS mutation load is detected in other types of cancers, such as multiple myeloma, ovarian, uterine, and stomach cancers (22%, 15%, 18%, and 16%, respectively), whereas NRAS mutations are frequently detected in melanoma (30%), multiple myeloma (18%), acute myelogenous leukemia, colorectal cancer (CRC) (10%), and thyroid cancer (8%), and HRAS is the least frequently mutated RAS gene detected in cancers of the bladder, head, and neck squamous cell carcinomas and the uterus (5% or less) [ 12 ].…”
