Our results underscore the central role of RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK activation in ECD and identify an important role of activation of RAS-PI3K-AKT signaling in ECD.
The family of juvenile xanthogranuloma family neoplasms (JXG) with ERK-pathway mutations are now classified within the "L" (Langerhans) group, which includes Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) and Erdheim Chester disease (ECD).
