Zusammenfassung: | The present disclosure relates to: a biomarker composition for predicting susceptibility to a therapeutic agent for neurofibromatosis by using Ras activity; and a pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating neurofibromatosis, including a Ras activity inhibitor. The biomarker composition can accurately diagnose susceptibility to a therapeutic agent for neurofibromatosis through a simple method of measuring the expression levels of a GTP-bound and activated Ras (Ras-GTP) protein and an activated p-ERK protein or a gene encoding the same in a biological sample of an individual, and the pharmaceutical composition inhibits the activity of Ras proteins, and thus can be effectively used for the prevention or treatment of neurofibromatosis in which the activity of the Ras proteins is increased. |
