PDGFRA Activating Mutations in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

TL;DR: Tumors expressing KIT or PDGFRA oncoproteins were indistinguishable with respect to activation of downstream signaling intermediates and cytogenetic changes associated with tumor progression, suggesting KIT and PDGFra mutations appear to be alternative and mutually exclusive oncogenic mechanisms in GISTs.
Journal ArticleDOI

PDGFRA Mutations in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Frequency, Spectrum and In Vitro Sensitivity to Imatinib

TL;DR: It is suggested that more than one third of GISTs with PDGFRA mutations may respond to imatinib and that mutation screening may be helpful in the management of these tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

KIT mutations are common in incidental gastrointestinal stromal tumors one centimeter or less in size.

TL;DR: Denaturing high-pressure liquid chromatography is adapted as a method for screening polymerase chain reaction amplimers of exons 9, 11, 13, and 17 from GIST genomic DNA to suggest that KIT mutations per se are of little prognostic importance in GISTs.
