Classifying EGFR Mutations by Structure and Function

[Judy M2]

Someone just posted this on FB and it is so interesting. I didn't know there were 70 different EGFR mutations. This must be why some people do so well on current targeted therapies and others don't.

Thank-you for sharing this.....I had no idea there were over 70 different mutations.

Fascinating read, I went to the original Nature article in the link.  Gave me hope as I have a "classical" mutation of exon 19 deletion.  And hope that they can do more research for atypical mutations.
