Several variant types of exon 19 deletions have been reported in NSCLC where the majority (65% to 75%) have EGFR exon 19 deletions of the 15 bp type (ELREA) and only a minority (1 to 1.5%) have 24 bp exon 19 deletions (SPKANKEI) [35]. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
