Abstract excerpt
Amplification of HER2 can drive the proliferation of cancer cells, and several inhibitors of HER2 have been successfully developed. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing now reveal that HER2 is subject to mutation, with over 2,000 unique variants observed in human cancers. Several examples of oncogenic HER2 mutations have been described, and these primarily occur at allosteric sites outside the...
