Popis: 7667 Background: EGFR mutation is a diverse and complex phenomenon. Shigematsu et al (JNCI 97:339,2005), analyzing NSCLC samples from multiple ethnicities and histologic cell types, reported 11 types of in-frame deletions in exon 19 (46%), 9 missense mutation in exons 18, 20, 21 (45%) and 8 in-frame insertion in exons 20 (9%). 3/130 tumors (2.3%) had multiple mutations. Here we report the incidence, mutation pattern and novel finding of EGFR mutation in a homogenous ethnic group with adenocarcinoma of lung. Methods: Between 2004 and 2006 we isolated genomic DNA from 194 (archival 53, prospective 141) primary lung adenocarinoma for PCR amplification of EGFR exon 18–21. We isolated tumor cell by micro-dissection. PCR products were purified and sequenced using the BigDye Terminator Cycly Sequencing Ready Reaction Kit (Applied Biosystem) and run on Applied Biosystem 3100 Genetic Analyzer. Results: We found 79 EGFR mutations in 73 tumors (37.6%). Six (8.2%) had double mutations. IN-FRAME DEL: 10 types in exon 19 (39 cases, 49.4%); 1 type in exon 18 (1 case). MISSENSE MUTATION: 2 types in exon 18 (2 cases); 4 types in exon 20 (5 cases) and 2 types in exon 21 (29 cases, 36.7%) IN-FRAME INSERTION: 3 types in exon 20 (3 cases). Typical exon 19 E746-A750del and exon 21 L858R mutations accounted for 31% and 34%, respectively. We found 11 types of mutations not previously described.( Table ) Four pts with novel mutations received EGFR TKI and 3 attained PR (all with exon 19 del). Two pts have T790M mutations without prior exposure to EGFR TKI and both with double mutations. Conclusion: Mutation pattern of EGFR gene in Chinese pts with adenocarcinoma is similar to the Shigematsu report. The overall incidence of EGFR mutation and multiple mutations are higher but in-frame insertion in exon 20 is less common. Majority of the novel mutations are rare mutations involving exon 18 and 20. No significant financial relationships to disclose. [Table: see text]
