What Is EGFR Mutation?

EGFR stands for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor. 

EGFR is a trans-membrane glyco-protein. The intracellular domain of EGFR protein is tyrosine kinase domain that regulates signaling pathways for cell growth, cell survival, cell division, and cell death. 

Mutations in EGFR gene result in uncontrolled cell growth due to excessive or sustained growth signals. 

Mutations in EGFR are associated with types of lung cancer such as Lung Adenocarcinoma, which is the most common type of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). 

What Sample Is Collected for EGFR Mutation PCR?

Following samples are collected for EGFR quantitative PCR:

  • Blood 
  • Biopsy tissue sample

How Is EGFR Mutation Detected by PCR?

Following is the procedure for EGFR mutation PCR:

Appointment – 

Book an appointment beforehand, to avoid waiting and confusion. 

Sample collected – 

Blood sample is collected. FREE HOME SAMPLE COLLECTION AVAILABLE.

Procedure for blood sample collection –

  • A phlebotomist will tie a tourniquet around your arm. 
  • He will sanitize the area from where he is supposed to draw blood. 
  • With the help of sterile needle, he will draw the required amount of blood sample.
  • The sample will be transported to the lab for testing after labeling properly.

Real Time PCR – 

32 different mutations in EGFR can be detected simultaneously in the laboratory using a Real Time PCR machine, operated by a skilled technician.

Report – 

  • Report is available within 24 hours of sample collection.
  • Report is available digitally.
  • 100% accurate reports

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ

Lung cancer is broadly categorized into:

  • Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)
  • Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)


The Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) accounts for majority of lung cancer cases. EGFR mutation is generally seen in Lung Adenocarcinoma, which is a type of NSCLC.

There is no risk associated with non-invasive sample collection such as blood sample. In case, biopsy of tissue is required, your doctor will let you know about the procedure. 

Following people are at higher risk of developing spontaneous somatic mutations in EGFR gene:

  • Asian and East Asian ethnic groups
  • Women
  • Non-smokers or light smokers
  • Young adults with lung Adenocarcinoma

It means that you have a spontaneous mutation in EGFR gene. This is an indication towards uncontrolled cell growth and division in the body, most probably in lungs. The mutation occurs in somatic cells.

Following symptoms of EGFR positive lung cancer should not be ignored:

  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Persistent cough
  • Rust colored sputum
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Hoarseness in voice
  • Lung infections
