Contributions of intrinsic mutation rate and selfish selection to levels of de novo HRAS mutations in the paternal germline.

The RAS proto-oncogene Harvey rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog (HRAS) encodes a small GTPase that transduces signals from cell surface receptors to intracellular effectors to control cellular behavior. Although somatic HRAS mutations have been described in many cancers, germline mutations cause Co...
