PG - 4074-6 LID - 10.1158/1078-0432.CCR-10-1438 [doi] AB - Mutations in the Ras pathway are common in myeloid malignancies. NF1, a tumor suppressor and negative regulator of Ras, is inactivated in a subset of adult acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) cases. Loss of NF1 function sensitizes cells to inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a downstream effector of Ras activation, highlighting a potential therapeutic opportunity for some AML patients.
