Activating mutations in MAP2K1 and MAP2K2, the genes encoding MEK1 and MEK2, have been identified at low frequency in a variety of cancers as well as in germline diseases such as Noonan syndrome, cardiofaciocutaneous syndromes and other RASopathies (reviewed in Samatar and Poulikakos, 2014; Bezniakow et al, 2014; Rauen, 2013).
