Abstract excerpt
The PI3K/AKT pathway is frequently activated in human cancer. Recently, a G to A point mutation (E17K) was found in the pleckstrin homology domain of AKT1. We aimed to explore this mutation in cases of urothelial carcinoma. Using chip-based matrix-assisted laser desorption-time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometer, AKT1 E17K mutation was searched in 26 total RNA samples obtained from 26 patients known to have...
