Abstract excerpt
The mTOR is a key regulator of cell growth that integrates growth factor signaling and nutrient availability and is a downstream effector of oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) and PI3K/Akt signaling. Thus, activating mTOR mutations would be expected to enhance growth in many tumor types. However, tumor sequencing data have shown that mTOR mutations are enriched only in renal clear cell carcinoma, a...
