“…Interestingly, 6 tumors, 4 of which were MSI-H, had either an insertion or a deletion within a poly(A 6 ) stretch in codons 321-323 [104]. PTEN deficiency could be a result of germline or somatic mutations, epigenetic silencing, abnormal transcriptional regulation, post-translational modifications, and protein-protein interactions [105,106]. The most frequently mutated genes in PTEN-defective solid tumors are well-known cancer genes, such as TP53, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC), titin (TTN), mucin 16 (MUC16), PIK3CA, axonemal central pair apparatus (HYDIN), BRAF, cadherin-1 (CDH1), and histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 2D (KMT2D), irrespective of the tumor type ( Figure 8).…”
