Abstract Text | Patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) harbor BRAF V600E and activating mutations of MAP2K1/MEK1 in 50% and 25% of cases, respectively. We evaluated a patient with treatment-refractory LCH for mutations in the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK pathway and identified a novel mutation in the MAP2K1 gene resulting in a p.L98_K104 > Q deletion and predicted to be auto-activating. During treatment with the MEK inhibitor trametinib, the patient's disease showed significant progression. In vitro characterization of the MAP2K1 p.L98_K104 > Q deletion confirmed its effect on cellular activation of the ERK pathway and drug resistance. |

MAP2K1 | L98_K104delinsQ | indel | gain of function | MAP2K1 L98_K104delinsQ results in the deletion of seven amino acids in the protein kinase domain of the Map2k1 protein from amino acids 98 to 104, combined with the insertion of a glutamine (Q) at the same site (UniProt.org). L98_K104delinsQ results in increased activation of Map2k1 and elevated phosphorylation of Erk and Akt in culture (PMID: 29768711), and has been demonstrated to confer resistance to Mek inhibitors (PMID: 29768711). | Y |
