PTEN and glioblastoma: This apparent difference between assay formats encouraged us to analyse a larger group of seven mutant proteins identified in patients with autism (figure 1A) lacking other manifestations of PHTS.3–7 Therefore, we used lentiviruses to express either PTEN wild-type (WT) or individual missense PTEN mutants (C124S, G129R, H118P, H123Q, E157G, F241S, D252G, N276S and D326N) in PTEN-null U87MG glioblastoma cells.
