The presence of identical missense mutations in multiple patient samples and their oncogenicity in standard transformation assays suggest that these mutants play a role in gliomagenesis. It also raises the question wheth
[Paragraph-level] PMCID: PMC1702556 Section: RESULTS PassageIndex: 16
Evidence Type(s): Predictive, Oncogenic
Justification: Predictive: The passage discusses how the presence of EGFR missense mutants, including L858R and L861Q, may sensitize transformed cells to EGFR kinase inhibitors, indicating a correlation with treatment response. Oncogenic: The identical missense mutations are described as having oncogenicity and playing a role in gliomagenesis, suggesting that these somatic variants contribute to tumor development.
