Studies have shown that gliomas lack mutations in the EGFR exons 19–21 encoding the tyrosine kinase domain (common activating mutations in lung cancer that sensitize those cancers for gefitinib and erlotinib), and may be less dependent on EGFR kinase activity overall, also contributing to the failure of EGFR-TKIs [51]. The gene discussed is EGFR; the disease is cancer.
