Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinases (PI3ks) are a family of lipid kinases that play a crucial role in a wide range of important cellular processes associated with malignant behavior including cell growth, migration, and survival. We have used single-strand conformational polymorphism/heteroduplex analysis to demonstrate the presence of somatic mutations in the gene for the p85alpha regulatory subunit of PI3k (PIK3R1)...
