PIK3CA belongs to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) family, which play an important role in proliferation, adherence, transformation and cell survival through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. Somatic activating mutations of this gene have recently been detected in several types of cancers. I

## Abstract Somatic mutations of the __PIK3CA__ gene, which encodes the p110Ξ± catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3βkinase (PI3K), are frequent in various cancer types. The majority of mutations cluster at hotspots within exons 9 and 20, which encode the helical and kinase domains of p110Ξ±. _
## Abstract Somatic mutations of the __PIK3CA__ gene have recently been detected in various human cancers, including sporadic colorectal cancer. However, mutations of the __PIK3CA__ gene in hereditary colorectal cancers have not been clarified. To elucidate the mutation status in familial adenomato
## Abstract Mutation of __PIK3CA__, the gene coding for the p110Ξ± catalytic subunit of phosphoinositide 3βkinase (PI3K), has been reported in a limited range of human tumors. We now report that __PIK3CA__ is also mutated in esophageal tumors. Singleβstrand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and den

## Abstract While the phosphatidylinositol 3βkinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway is known to be activated in multiple sporadic cancers, the role of this pathway in familial tumors is mostly unknown. We searched for alterations in the catalytic domain of PI3K (__PIK3CA__), PTEN and __KRAS__, all of
