Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Recent studies showed high frequency of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic alpha polypeptide (PIK3CA) mutations in various human cancers; notably, these mutations frequently locate in the hotspot mutation regions of PIK3CA exon 9 and exon 20 with functional significance in tumorigenesis, invasion, and anti-apoptosis. This study was to screen for mutations in the hotspot mutation...
