PIK3CA-associated developmental disorders exhibit distinct classes of mutations with variable expression and tissue distribution
[Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC5019182
Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predisposing, Diagnostic, Prognostic
Justification: Oncogenic: The text states that all identified mutations in PIK3CA, including p.Glu545Lys and p.His1047Arg, are oncogenic and have been documented in the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC). Functional: The passage mentions that most mutations are proven or predicted to have a gain-of-function (GOF) mechanism, with published functional studies demonstrating GOF for at least 9 of the 41 mutations identified. Predisposing: The text describes that several patients with PIK3CA mutations exhibit classic features of MCAP and other developmental disorders, indicating that these mutations predispose individuals to these conditions. Diagnostic: The identification of PIK3CA mutations through clinical testing methods such as targeted NGS and whole-exome sequencing suggests that these mutations can serve as diagnostic markers for related developmental disorders. Prognostic: The presence of specific mutations and their associated alternative allele percentages (AAPs) in patients may provide insights into the clinical outcomes and severity of the associated phenotypes, indicating a prognostic value.
