Structural alterations in EGFR. (A) Direct sequencing showing one of the mutations found in the kinase domain of EGFR – missense mutation (2300 C>T) in exon 20, leading to the substitution of the Alanine 767 for a Valine. (B) Diffuse gastric carcinoma with EGFR increased copy number caused by chromosome 7 polysomy. (C) Neoplastic cells exhibiting gene amplification with the formation of clusters with numerous signals for EGFR.
