Abstract excerpt
Phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase gene (PIK3CA) encodes a lipid kinase that regulates signaling pathways downstream of epidermal growth factor receptor and is mutated in 10% to 30% of colorectal cancers. Activating mutations in this gene up-regulates the AKT signaling pathway, making it a potentially useful therapeutic target. Mutations in PIK3CA are not exclusive of mutations in KRAS, BRAF, or NRAS. We designed a...
