He human gene egfr located on chromosome 7 is a proto-oncogene that codes for a growth factor cell surface receptor. the binding of growth factors to this receptor can lead to cell proliferation. hypothesize what potential impact a mutated egfr allele will have on a cell. give one possible impact and explain your answer

A mutated EGFR gene may cause the up-regulation of the growth factor receptors. This causes an abnormally high levels growth factor response to occur even when growth factors have not bound the receptor causing the epidermal cells to proliferate. This unregulated growth causes cancer such as adenocarcinoma.
