Due to this mutation your cells might not be able to make normal k ras protein. There are various sources of biological heterogeneity of kras mutant nsclc including different genotypes that may be associated with specific clinical outcomes the presence of other co mutations that exhibit different biological features and drug sensitivity patterns.
