Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is frequently mutated in various types of cancer. Although all oncogenic mutations are considered activating, different tumour types have different mutation spectra. It is possible that functional differences underlie this tumour-type specific mutation spectrum. METHODS: We have determined whether specific mutations in EGFR (EGFR, EGFRvIII and EGFR-L858R) have...
