The role of the PIK3CA gene in the development and aging of the brain.

Abstract excerpt

The CLOVES syndrome is an overgrowth disease arising from mosaic activating somatic mutations in the PIK3CA gene. These mutations occur during fetal development producing malformation and overgrowth of a variety of tissues. It has recently been shown that treatment with low doses of a selective inhibitor of Class I PI3K catalytic subunit p110α, the protein product of the PIK3CA gene, can yield dramatic...
