EGFR variant detection summary. The seven exons coding for the tyrosine kinase domain of EGFR were sequenced in 37 tumours. Eight of these samples contained mutations, four with in-frame exon 19 deletions impacting L747-A750, four with a variety of exon 20 point mutations, and one with an exon 21 point mutation, L858R. Two previously documented synonymous polymorphisms were detected in this study, G2607A in exon 20 (rs10251977) and T2955C in exon 23 (rs17290643). Amino acid numbering is from the initial methionine residue of the EGFR protein isoform a (NCBI accession NP_005219).
