Apoptosis of colon carcinoma cells (Tnfsf10), sarcoma (Ewsr1, Mdm2, Tnfsf10), hyperpoliferation (Map2k7), survival (Mdm2, Nras, Tnfsf10), tumorigenesis (Ewsr1, Mdm2, Nras, Tnfsf10), fibroblast proliferation (Arid5b, E4f1, Map2k7, Mdm2, Nras), mitosis of embryonic cells (E4f1). This evidence concerns the gene NRAS and colon carcinoma.
