Spectrum of PIK3CA/AKT mutations across molecular subtypes of triple-negative breast cancer.

This study highlights the heterogeneity within TNBCs. Higher frequencies of PIK3CA mutations were noted in LAR subtypes and unclassified type, comparable to their incidence reported in literature in ER-positive tumors. The mutation status can be used as potential biomarker for PI3K inhibitors in TNBC subgroups.
