7 Mar 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ovarian granulosa cell tumors are the most common sex-cord stromal tumors and have juvenile (JGCTs) and adult forms. In a previous study we reported the occurrence of activating somatic mutations of Gαs, which transduces mitogenic signals, in 30% of the analyzed JGCTs. METHODS: We have searched for alterations in other proteins involved in ovarian mitogenic signaling. We focused on the PI3K-AKT axis....
