      Most T790M mutations are present on the same EGFR allele as activating mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

          Abstract

          The T790M and C797S mutations of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) confer resistance to first- and third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), respectively, in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring activating mutations of EGFR. C797S has been identified in cis or in trans with T790M in tumor specimens from patients who experienced treatment failure with first- and third-generation EGFR-TKIs. The allelic relation between T790M and activating mutations of EGFR has not been well characterized, however. We have now developed a digital polymerase chain reaction (dPCR)-based method for determination of the allelic relation between two types of EGFR mutation (T790M and either C797S or an activating mutation).
