Loss of PTEN and concomitant activation of AKTcould act in partnership with the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion protein to promote progression to prostatecancer

loss of PTEN expression was an independent prognostic factor for poor overall survival in patients with stage II pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Susceptibility to Autism spectrum disorder
Variant & Polymorphism other haploinsufficiency for PTEN may be a genetic risk factor for abnormal brain development in response to exposure to environmental toxins that impinge on the PI3K pathway
