[19], [20] The frequency of this variant matched in our series supporting a high sensitivity of the OncoMap platform. We did not detect mutations in KRAS, EGFR, PTEN, HRAS and BRAF in our study, suggesting these mutations are rare in gastric carcinomas. These observations are consistent with recent exome sequencing data showing no mutations of KRAS, EGFR, HRAS and BRAF in 37 fresh gastric carcinoma samples in Asian populations. [9]. Here, EGFR is linked to gastric carcinoma.
