Mutation and genomic amplification of the PIK3CA proto-oncogene in pituitary adenomas

Show other versions (1)

The tumorigenesis of pituitary adenomas is poorly understood. Mutations of the PIK3CA proto-oncogene, which encodes the p110-α catalytic subunit of PI3K, have been reported in various types of human cancers regarding the role of the gene in cell proliferation and survival through activation of the P...
