Mutation analysis of <i>PIK3CA</i> and <i>PIK3CB</i> in esophageal cancer and Barrett's esophagus
27 Dec 2005
Abstract excerpt
Mutation of PIK3CA, the gene coding for the p110alpha catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), has been reported in a limited range of human tumors. We now report that PIK3CA is also mutated in esophageal tumors. Single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) were used to screen all 20 exons of PIK3CA in 101 samples from 95 individuals...
