| Abstract | This study describes genomic rearrangements near the 3' end of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in eight glioblastomas displaying coamplification and expression of both normal and rearranged EGFR. In four of these cases, it was possible by PCR to amplify tumor EGFR cDNA, which allowed sequence determination of the 3' transcript alterations associated with the rearrangements. Such analysis revealed that the four cases have in common a deletion of 255 bases that encode a portion of the receptor's cytoplasmic domain. The remaining four cases revealed genomic rearrangements in the same region of the gene as those described above and revealed aberrant EGFR transcripts lacking the same 255 bases determined to be missing in the sequenced EGFR cDNAs as well as large regions of contiguous downstream sequences. Therefore, all of the eight cases described here express transcripts that do not encode large C-terminal, intracellular portions of the receptor. In three of the eight cases, the EGFR transcripts displaying a 3' alteration also displayed a 5' inframe deletion of sequences encoding a portion of the extracellular domain, and for one of the corresponding patients it was possible to determine that the two transcript alterations were acquired as separate events. We have now detected the 5' and/or 3' alterations in 21 of 32 cases of glioblastoma with EGFR amplification; no genetic alterations have been detected in glioblastomas without EGFR amplification. In combination with previously published reports, these data suggest the in vivo evolution of EGFR toward an increasingly oncogenic potential through gene amplification with subsequent and successive gene alterations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
