Abstract excerpt
The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signalling pathway regulates many cellular functions including proliferation, migration, survival and protein synthesis. Somatic mutations in PIK3CA, the gene encoding the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3K enzyme, are commonly associated with many human cancers as well as recently being implicated in human overgrowth syndromes. However, it is not clear if such mutations can...
