Genes affected

ERBB2 (HGNC:3430): (erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2) This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor family of receptor tyrosine kinases. This protein has no ligand binding domain of its own and therefore cannot bind growth factors. However, it does bind tightly to other ligand-bound EGF receptor family members to form a heterodimer, stabilizing ligand binding and enhancing kinase-mediated activation of downstream signalling pathways, such as those involving mitogen-activated protein kinase and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Allelic variations at amino acid positions 654 and 655 of isoform a (positions 624 and 625 of isoform b) have been reported, with the most common allele, Ile654/Ile655, shown here. Amplification and/or overexpression of this gene has been reported in numerous cancers, including breast and ovarian tumors. Alternative splicing results in several additional transcript variants, some encoding different isoforms and others that have not been fully characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

The Met774fs variant has not been previously reported nor previously identified by our laboratory. This variant is predicted to cause a frameshift, which alters the protein's amino acid sequence beginning at codon 774 and leads to a prematu re stop codon 17 amino acids downstream. This alteration is then predicted to le ad to a truncated or absent protein. Somatic ERBB2 variants have been identified in up to 9.8% of cases of lung adenocarcinoma (Cancer Genome Project and Collab orative Group 2004). -
