Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in receptor tyrosine kinases play a critical role in oncogenesis. Despite evidence that Met kinase is deregulated in human cancer, the role of activating mutations in cancers other than renal papillary carcinoma has not been well defined. Here we report the identification of somatic intronic mutations of Met kinase that lead to an alternatively spliced transcript in lung cancer, which encodes...
