New routes to old places: PIK3R1 and PIK3R2 join PIK3CA and PTEN as endometrial cancer genes
Abstract
Cheung and colleagues identify PIK3R1 and PIK3R2, the genes encoding the α and β isoforms of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) p85 regulatory subunit, as additional mutation targets in endometrial cancer, and describe a novel mechanism leading to PTEN loss.

High frequency of PIK3R1 and PIK3R2 mutations in endometrial cancer elucidates a novel mechanism for regulation of PTEN protein stability.Cancer Discov. 2011 Jul;1(2):170-85. doi: 10.1158/2159-8290.CD-11-0039. Epub 2011 Jun 7. Cancer Discov. 2011. PMID: 21984976 Free PMC article.
