More than 99% of the smallest, lowest-grade precursor lesions in the pancreas already carry a mutation in KRAS, CDKN2A, GNAS or BRAF, showing the genetic change comes first.
More than 99% of the earliest-stage, lowest-grade pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm-1 lesions were shown to contain mutations in KRAS, p16/CDKN2A, GNAS or BRAF.
It fixes the order of events, with the initiating mutation present in the smallest visible lesion, and it warns that finding mutant KRAS in a duct does not mean cancer.
