Interpretation

When mutated, HRAS can act as an oncogene. Somatic HRAS mutations have been associated with some cases of upper and lower urinary tract urothelial carcinoma, thyroid, and kidney cancers and in nevi. The frequency of HRAS mutations in upper and lower urinary tract urothelial carcinoma are about 10%. Interestingly, it has been shown that the HRAS mutation in lower urinary tract urothelial carcinoma may occur in tumors without FGFR3 mutations.
