The activating E17K mutations recently discovered in the pleckstrin homology domain of AKT1 in about 2% of endometrial cancer patients ( Shoji et al, 2009 ) suggest a new mechanism for PI3 kinase pathway activation in these patients, as previously described in breast, colorectal and ovarian cancers ( Carpten et al, 2007 ).
