ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10) gene is one of the most commonly mutated suppressor genes in malignant tumours. PTEN protein counteracts the process of carcinogenesis by inhibition of many kinases promoting cell proliferation.

Aim of the research:
A review and analysis of detected PTEN gene mutations in malignant tumours and identification of the most commonly mutated sites in the PTEN gene.

Material and methods:
The systematic review included 70 publications.

Results:
Mutations in the PTEN gene were found in 18% of cases. The largest number of mutations were observed in endometrial cancer – 49% of examined patients. Mutations most frequently occurred in exon 5 (49% of examined cases), followed by exon 8 (15% of cases) and exon 7 (13% of cases).

Conclusions:
The identification of mutations in the PTEN gene in malignant tumours is of great clinical importance – targeted treatment with temsirolimus and everolimus is available for patients.
