Mutations in ErbB2 associated with cancerous phenotypes

摘要

The invention relates to mutations in ErbB2 gene products. The mutations described are identified in human tumours of natural origin. These mutations are associated with cancerous phenotypes and can be used as a basis for the diagnosis of cancer, cancerous cells or a predisposition to cancer in human subjects, selection of appropriate anti-cancer therapy and the development of anti-cancer therapeutics.
