Oncology PGx Flashcards
What type of mutation does cancer usually have?
Somatic usually, germ and somatic second, Germ-line last
5 year survival for Colorectal cancer?
64%
5 year survival for mCRC
14%
What is KRAS?
Proto-oncogene
what happens if KRAS is on?
GTPase state and propagate cell growth and differentiation
What is K-ras?
It can be intercellular as well
When do you give a EGRF inhibitor?
KRAS -
Cant give is positive
What codon is activated in KRAS mutation?
12,13 or 61
What happens when you bind EGFR?
Attaches cell surface and turns off the tumor like environment
Is EGRF therapy given alone?
No always in combo with a chemotherapy
Do we have toxic and dosing data for KRAS positive pt given EGFR?
No
KRAS mutation on what codon for mCRC cant receive what?
Codon 12 and 13 and can’t get EGFR therapy
What do you give if they have KRAS mutation?
Sotorasib NSCLC
What is BCR-ABL?
The fuse of 2 gene (9 and 22) and when fused it shortens one called the Philadelphia chromosome
Effect of BCR-ABL?
Speeds up cell division and block DNA repair
What are the 3 symptoms phase of CML
Chronic - mild or no
Accelerated - symptoms
Blast - severe symptoms
what is first generation TKI and what does it do?
Gleevac (imatinib) - prolongs survival and events
Doesn’t cure and goes back to chronic state
How does CML develop imatinib resistant?
BCR-AML point mutation bc of amplification and over expression
Cause point mutation in ATP binding site
What is IC50?
Lower the better for mutations
What is T315I?
ATP binding site point mutation that is important for drugs
What are the 4 mutations we look for in CML and which ones do we worries about?
P-loop, ATP binding site, Catalytic domain, A-loop
P-loop and ATP binding site most common
