TL;DR: The protein-kinase family is the most frequently mutated gene family found in human cancer and faulty kinase enzymes are being investigated as promising targets for the design of antitumour therapies as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The results suggest that several mutated protein kinases may be contributing to lung cancer development, but that mutations in each one are infrequent.

TL;DR: In many tumors, the coding sequence of 518 protein kinases was examined, and a few had numerous somatic mutations with distinctive patterns indicative of either a mutator phenotype or a past exposure.

TL;DR: The results do not provide evidence for a mutated protein kinase implicated in the development of TGCT other than KIT, and it is demonstrated that the general prevalence of point mutations in TGCT is low, in contrast to the high frequency of copy number changes.
