KRAS Gene Mutation Analysis, Extended
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
KRAS is a guanosine triphosphate (GTP) binding protein involved in downstream receptor signaling, which is critical for cell proliferation, survival, and differentiation. Mutations in the KRAS oncogene are frequently found in human cancers. They are common in pancreatic, colorectal, lung, gallbladder, bile duct, and thyroid cancer. This assay will detect KRAS mutations in exons 2, 3, and 4, allowing the determination of drug response.
