Exploring the Relationship Between KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF Mutations and Clinical Characteristics in Iranian Colorectal Cancer Patients.
Background: Patients with colorectal cancer can benefit from anti-EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) therapy. However, this therapy is not effective for treating colorectal cancers with constitutive activating mutations in the KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF genes. Molecular analysis of tumor tissue frequently informs treatment decisions for colorectal cancer. This study aims to identify KRAS, NRAS, and BRAF mutations in Iranian patients diagnosed with colorectal cancer and to assess the prevalence of these mutations relative to the tumor differentiation stage within these populations.
Methods: From April 2018 to December 2022, 2000 specimens from patients with colorectal cancer were collected. Data on sex, age, and tumor differentiation stage were recorded for all samples. For mutation detection, the KRAS and NRAS exons (2, 3, and 4) were amplified using the Diatech kit, and a specific primer was used to amplify BRAF exon 15. Pyrosequencing was then performed.
Results: Analysis of samples revealed that 1105 specimens (55.3%) contained mutations in at least one of the screened genes. Among the genes studied, the highest occurrence was the KRAS mutation at 47.4%, followed by NRAS at 5.3% and BRAF at 2.7%. Most KRAS mutations were found in exon 2 (89.7%), with the G12D mutation being the most prevalent at 32% of cases. There was a significant difference in the rate of KRAS mutations in women (52.5%) compared to men (43.5%) (P = 0.02). For NRAS, the majority mutations were observed in exon 3 (76.2%), with the Q61H mutation being the most prevalent at 28.5% of cases. There were no significant associations between the clinicopathological parameters and mutations.
Conclusion: The study's findings indicate a rising frequency of mutations in these genes in Iran, highlighting the need to screening mutations in the main exons of all three genes for effective colorectal cancer treatment strategies.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer is a multidisciplinary medium for the publication of novel research pertaining to cancers arising from the gastrointestinal tract.The journal is dedicated to the most rapid publication possible.The journal publishes papers in all relevant fields, emphasizing those studies that are helpful in understanding and treating cancers affecting the esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, pancreas, small bowel, large bowel, rectum, and anus. In addition, the Journal of Gastrointestinal Cancer publishes basic and translational scientific information from studies providing insight into the etiology and progression of cancers affecting these organs. New insights are provided from diverse areas of research such as studies exploring pre-neoplastic states, risk factors, epidemiology, genetics, preclinical therapeutics, surgery, radiation therapy, novel medical therapeutics, clinical trials, and outcome studies.In addition to reports of original clinical and experimental studies, the journal also publishes: case reports, state-of-the-art reviews on topics of immediate interest or importance; invited articles analyzing particular areas of pancreatic research and knowledge; perspectives in which critical evaluation and conflicting opinions about current topics may be expressed; meeting highlights that summarize important points presented at recent meetings; abstracts of symposia and conferences; book reviews; hypotheses; Letters to the Editors; and other items of special interest, including:Complex Cases in GI Oncology: This is a new initiative to provide a forum to review and discuss the history and management of complex and involved gastrointestinal oncology cases. The format will be similar to a teaching case conference where a case vignette is presented and is followed by a series of questions and discussion points. A brief reference list supporting the points made in discussion would be expected.
