Investigation of the prevalence and clinical implications of ERBB2 exon 16 skipping mutations in Chinese pan-cancer patients
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC9859631
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Predictive, Functional
Justification: Oncogenic: The text describes various ERBB2 alterations, including ERBB2DeltaEx16 variants, which are suggested to play a role in resistance to targeted therapies, indicating their potential oncogenic nature. Predictive: The presence of specific mutations such as L858R, L755S, D769Y, and others in the context of treatment resistance suggests that these variants may predict response to therapies and disease progression. Functional: The identification of multiple ERBB2 alterations and their association with resistance mechanisms implies that these variants may have functional consequences on the gene's activity and its role in cancer progression.
