A nonsense mutation in PTPN11 (K99X), a pathogenic CCND1 splice site variant (P241P), a hotspot missense mutation in PIK3CA (E542K) and a hotspot missense mutation in TP53 (R249S); were observed in 25%, 75%, 30% and 40% of the HER2+ BC tissue samples, respectively.

This study proposed to investigate the relationship of PIK3CA somatic mutations, the most common activating mutations in human breast cancer (BC), and the efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NCT).Using a novel liquid chip technology,PIK3CA DNA somatic mutations and HER2, PTEN, EGFR mRNA expression profiles were analyzed in formalin fixed paraffin embedded samples of 93 BC patients treated with epirubicin plus docetaxel NCT.PIK3CA mutations were found in 30 patients (32.3%), in which the point mutations of E542K, E545K, H1047L and H1047R were 4.3, 9.7, 4.3 and 14.0%respectively.
