Also, out of a total of 95 breast cancer samples, there were 5 breast-cancer samples which did not have mTOR-pathway activation, and all 5 (100%) of these had PIK3CA and PTEN mutations compared to 51/90 (57%) in the breast-cancer samples with mTOR-pathway activation (χ2p=0.0134). This evidence concerns the gene PTEN and breast cancer.
