Most commonly affected genes in PDAC.

Type Gene Cellular function Affected in PDAC
Tumor suppressor genes CDKN2A/p16 G1-S phase cell cycle inhibition 95%
SMAD4 TGFβ 55%
TP53 Cell-cycle arrest 75%

Oncogenes KRAS2 ERK-MAPkinase signaling >90%
CyclinD Cell cycle progression 65%
BRAF ERK-MAPkinase signaling 5%

Genome maintenance genes MLH1/MSH2 DNA damage (mismatch) repair 4%
BRCA2 DNA damage repair 7–10%
