A deregulated HOX gene axis confers an epigenetic vulnerability in KRAS-mutant lung cancers
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC10805385
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive
Justification: Oncogenic: The text indicates that HOXC10 is overexpressed in KRAS-mutant tumors, specifically mentioning the KRAS G12C variant, which is known to be associated with oncogenic activity in cancer. Predictive: The mention of robust HOXC10 expression in a patient-derived xenograft model with the KRAS G12C variant suggests that HOXC10 expression may predict response to treatment with MEK/BET inhibitors, indicating its potential as a predictive biomarker.
