Abstract

Analysis of cancer and RASopathy genetic databases reveals that ~19% of all cancer cases and ~4% of developmental disorders contain Ras mutations. Ras isoform and mutation variants differentially contribute to these diseases and provide an opportunity for deeper understanding of Ras function. The putative mechanisms underpinning these differences, new approaches that are being applied, and some of the key questions and challenges that remain are discussed.
