Abstract
KRAS-mutant cancers remain difficult to treat. We performed genome-wide CRISPR knockout screens across 28 KRAS-mutant tumour models to map synthetic-lethal interactions. Dependencies clustered by tissue of origin rather than KRAS allele, and SHOC2 loss was selectively lethal across pancreatic models irrespective of downstream pathway configuration.
