EGFR and neoplasm: Given the deregulated expression of KIAA1199 in multiple solid tumours34, 35, 36, 38, 60 and the essential role of EGFR-dependent pathways in tumour development and progression of a variety of epithelial malignancies, it is very much likely to be that KIAA1199 is a common rather than a lineage-specific oncogenic protein.
