In GBM, EGFR mutations typically cluster in the extracellular domain and include in-frame deletions (such as the common “variant III” del 6-273) and missense mutations (A289V, A289D, T263P, G598V). EGFR exon 20 insertions have not been previously reported in GBM. The clinical significance of this mutation with regards to response to anti-EGFR therapy in GBM is unknown. In general, EGFR exon 20 mutations have been reported in approximately 9% of all EGFR-mutated cases of lung cancer and studies show that in contrast to the more classic activating EGFR mutations, these insertions have been associated with de novo resistance or only partial response to approved EGFR-TKIs (erlotinib and gefitinib) in lung cancer.
