Uncommon Mutation, but Common Amplifications, of the<i>PIK3CA</i>Gene in Thyroid Tumors
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: As in many other human cancers, overactivation of the phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway occurs frequently in thyroid cancer, but the mechanism is not completely clear. OBJECTIVE: Because activating mutations and genomic amplification of the PIK3CA gene, which encodes the p110a catalytic subunit of PI3K, are common in many cancers, we sought to investigate this phenomenon in...
