WNK2 and neoplasm: Work carried out over the past several years indicates that inhibiting different cellular signalling pathways (such as Hippo, Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription, mitogen-activated protein kinase and those mediated by sex hormones) in tumour cells or targeting cells in the microenvironment (nerve cells, macrophages, mast cells and T cells) might benefit NF1 patients.
