Abstract 170P
Background
The KRAS gene plays a crucial role in the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This study aimed to investigate the frequency of KRAS mutations in patients with PDAC.
Methods
From 2020 to 2023, we retrospectively analyzed the KRAS status in 45 patients with PDAC. The distribution of clinical stages and the frequency of other mutations such as NRAS and BRCA2 were also evaluated.
Results
Among 45 patients, 30 (66.7%) had KRAS mutations, with the most frequent being G12D (50%), followed by G12V (26.6%). Q61K, G12A, A146T, G12R, and G12C mutations were less common. One patient with G12V mutation also had a BRCA2 mutation. In the mutated KRAS (mKRAS) group, 13 patients (43.3%) had metastatic disease, 12 (40%) had localized disease, and 5 (16.6%) had locally advanced disease. In the wild-type KRAS (wtKRAS) group, which consisted of 15 patients (33.3%), 7 (46.7%) had metastatic disease, 5 (33.3%) had localized disease, and 3 (20%) had locally advanced disease. One patient with wtKRAS also had a germline BRCA2 mutation. The distribution of clinical stages did not differ significantly between mKRAS and wtKRAS groups. NRAS mutation analysis was conducted in 41 patients, and no mutations were detected.
Conclusions
Our study revealed a high frequency of wtKRAS in patients with PDAC. Further investigation is needed to expound the clinical significance of KRAS status in this patient population.
