Title: | Recurrent inactivating RASA2 mutations in melanoma | Authors: | Qutob, Nouar | Keywords: | Arrhythmia;Cancer genetics;Melanoma - Genetic aspects | Issue Date: | 2016 | Abstract: | Analysis of 501 melanoma exomes revealed RASA2, encoding a RasGAP, as a tumor-suppressor gene mutated in 5% of melanomas. Recurrent loss-of-function mutations in RASA2 were found to increase RAS activation, melanoma cell growth and migration. RASA2 expression was lost in ≥30% of human melanomas and was associated with reduced patient survival. These findings reveal RASA2 inactivation as a melanoma driver and highlight the importance of Ras GAPs in cancer. | Description: | Authors include:Rand Arafeh, Rafi Emmanuel, Alona Keren-Paz, Jason Madore, Abdel Elkahloun, James S.
