Mutation of Threonine 766 in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Reveals a Hotspot for Resistance Formation against Selective Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors
1 Apr 2003
Abstract excerpt
Small molecule inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinases such as STI571 represent a major new class of therapeutics for target-selective treatment of human cancer. Clinical resistance formation to the BCR-ABL inhibitor STI571 has been observed in patients with advanced chronic myeloid leukemia and was frequently caused by a C to T single nucleotide change in the Abl kinase domain, which substituted Thr-315 with...
