KRAS gene mutations have long been known to cause cancer, and about one in three of solid tumours have KRAS mutations or mutations in the KRAS pathway. KRAS promotes cancer formation not only by driving cell growth and division, but also by turning off protective tumor suppressor genes, which normally limit uncontrolled cell growth and cause damaged cells to self-destruct.

Cancer Progression in Many Tumours may be Due to Enzymes
KRAS gene mutations have long been known to cause cancer, and about one in three of solid tumours have KRAS mutations or mutations in the KRAS pathway. KRAS promotes cancer formation not only by driving cell growth and division, but also by turning off protective tumor suppressor genes, which normally limit uncontrolled cell growth and cause damaged cells to self-destruct.
