Continual low-level MEK inhibition ameliorates cardio-facio-cutaneous phenotypes in zebrafish

SUMMARY Cardio-facio-cutaneous (CFC) syndrome is caused by germline mutations in KRAS, BRAF and MEK1/2. The highly selective and potent MEK inhibitors that have been developed as anti-cancer agents hold potential as therapeutics for CFC syndrome. We have previously shown that the effects of CFC muta...
