Abstract
n approximately 40% of ovarian cancers, PIK3CA, which encodes the p110α catalytic subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is amplified. This amplification correlates with increased PIK3CA transcription, p110α protein expression, and PI3K activity. Moreover, PIK3CA is implicated as an oncogene in ovarian cancers. Another common mutation in ovarian cancer leads to loss of p53 function. Alterations to p53 are known to be involved in tumour development and progression.
