In gastric cancer, the profiles of ERBB2 mutations and their relationship with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) overexpression remain unknown. We aimed to describe the details of ERBB2 mutations in gastric cancer. Patients and Methods: Comprehensive panel sequencing was performed in 234 advanced gastric cancer patients. We investigated hotspots and clinicopathologic features of ERBB2 mutant gastric cancer in a single institute and evaluated the hotspots of ERBB2 mutation in a public database. Results: Eighteen patients (7.7%) had ERBB2 mutations. The most frequent mutation was p.Arg678Gln (42.1%), which was located in the juxtamembrane domain and was the most common mutation in public databases (20.5%). All 18 ERBB2-mutant patients were negative for HER2 expression. Co-occurring genetic alterations included KRAS, PIK3CA, and ATM mutations. Conclusion: ERBB2 mutations were not associated with HER2 overexpression in gastric cancer patients. The most common mutation was located in the juxtamembrane domain of ERBB2.
