NF1 (neurofibromin)
NF1 makes neurofibromin, the protein that switches RAS off. People born with one faulty copy develop neurofibromatosis type 1, whose plexiform neurofibromas are now treated with the MEK inhibitors selumetinib and mirdametinib, which cut the RAS signal one step down. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Biology
A tumour suppressor with no drug of its own: therapy targets the pathway it normally restrains. The two approved drugs are recorded with response rates in the corpus (two-thirds of 50 children in SPRINT stratum 1; 41% in ReNeu), and the MEK record notes that MEK inhibitors are selected on upstream BRAF, NF1 or RAS status rather than on MEK itself.
