Abbreviations: AA, amino acid; NS, not significant; PDAC, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; x is either D, C, or V.

a

A total of 24 metastatic PDAC harbored KRAS mutations, but the specific mutation was unknown in one case, so this case was excluded from this table.

b

P<0.0001 for transition versus transversion mutations in primary pancreatic versus primary lung adenocarcinomas.
