      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC3378484

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predictive, Prognostic

      Justification: Oncogenic: The text discusses somatic mutations in PIK3CA, including several specific variants (e.g., E545K, H1047R, C420R) that are characterized as activating mutations associated with increased lipid kinase activity, which is a hallmark of oncogenic mutations in cancer. Functional: The evidence indicates that specific mutations (e.g., C420R, E545K, H1047R) enhance lipid binding and kinase activity, demonstrating a functional impact on the protein's activity and its role in signaling pathways. Predictive: The text suggests that the presence of certain mutations correlates with enhanced lipid binding and kinase activity, which could be used to predict the functional outcomes of these mutations in cancer contexts. Prognostic: The correlation between specific mutations and increased lipid kinase activity implies that these mutations could serve as prognostic markers for cancer progression and response to therapies targeting the PI3K pathway.
