Complex Mutations & Subpopulations of Deletions at Exon 19 of EGFR in NSCLC Revealed by Next Generation Sequencing: Potential Clinical Implications
27 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
Microdeletions at exon 19 are the most frequent genetic alterations affecting the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and they are strongly associated with response to treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. A series of 116 NSCLC DNA samples investigated by Sanger Sequencing (SS), including 106 samples carrying exon 19 EGFR deletions and 10 without deletions...
