Title:

Mutations in TSC1, TSC2, and MTOR are associated with response to rapalogs in patients with metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma

Excerpt:
Mutations in MTOR, TSC1 or TSC2 were more common in responders, 12 (28%) of 43, than non-responders, 4 (11%) of 36 (p=0.06). Mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 alone were also more common in responders, 9 (21%), than non-responders, 2(6%), (p=0.05). Furthermore, 5 (42%) of 12 subjects with PR had mutations in MTOR, TSC1 or TSC2 compared to 4 (11%) of 36 non-responders (p=0.03).
