RESUMO
MET exon 14 skipping ( METΔ14 ) is a well-characterized oncogene in the Ras-MAPK pathway driving lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Previous studies on METΔ14 revealed this aberrantly spliced oncogene is expressed in LUAD primary samples and is associated with heterozygous somatic mutations and deletions near exon 14 splice sites. Upon further examination of DNA and RNA sequencing data from primary samples, we highlight that METΔ14 is overexpressed in an allele-specific manner. These data suggest that dose-dependence of METΔ14 may be critical to oncogenesis.
