ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Targeting of the RAS pathway has long been a critical therapeutic challenge in oncology. Burgess et al. examine how the relative expression of mutant and wild-type KRAS modulates clonal fitness and sensitivity to MEK inhibitors in a model of KrasG12D mutant acute myeloid leukemia and propose its use as a predictive biomarker.
