Title:

V211D Mutation in MEK1 Causes Resistance to MEK Inhibitors in Colon Cancer

Excerpt:
We report the emergence of the novel MEK1V211D gatekeeper mutation in a patient with BRAFK601E colon cancer treated with the allosteric MEK inhibitor binimetinib and the anti-EGFR antibody panitumumab...The V211D mutation causes resistance to binimetinib by both increasing the catalytic activity of MEK1 and reducing its affinity for the drug.
