Furthermore, EGF‑ETA was just as potent in HCT116 (KRAS G13D) and SW480 (KRAS G12V) colon cancer cell lines harbouring KRAS hyperactivating mutations when compared to KRAS wild‑type HT29 colon cancer cells.
The GR/RR IRS1 genotypes were associated with an increased risk of colon cancers with the KRAS2 G12D mutation (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.5, 3.5 versus controls, OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1, 2.6 versus KRAS2 wild type), the "no 192" IGFI genotype increased the risk of the KRAS2 G13D mutation (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.2, 4.2 versus controls, OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.1, 4.0 versus wild type), and the DD IRS2 genotype increased the risk of the G12V KRAS2 mutation (OR 1.8, 95% CI 0.9, 3.5 versus controls, OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.0, 4.0 versus wild type).
