<i>PIK3CA</i> mutation is an oncogenic aberration at advanced stages of oral squamous cell carcinoma
17 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3K) are a group of heterodimeric lipid kinases that regulate many cellular processes. Gene amplification and somatic mutations mainly within the helical (exon 9) and kinase (exon 20) domains of PIK3CA, which encode the 110-kDa catalytic subunit of PI3K and are mapped to 3q26, have been reported in various human cancers. Herein, 14 human oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell...
