Gain-of-function mutations of c-kit in human gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

TL;DR: Sequencing of c-kit complementary DNA from five GISTs revealed mutations in the region between the transmembrane and tyrosine kinase domains, suggesting that the mutations contribute to tumor development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gain-of-function mutations of platelet-derived growth factor receptor α gene in gastrointestinal stromal tumors

TL;DR: The gain-of-function mutations of PDGFR alpha appear to play an important role in development of GISTs without KIT mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epigenetic silencing of microRNA-34b/c and B-cell translocation gene 4 is associated with CpG island methylation in colorectal cancer.

TL;DR: The results suggest that miR-34b/c and BTG4 are novel tumor suppressors in CRC and that the miR/c CpG island, which bidirectionally regulates miR’s 34b-34c and 4B-cell translocation gene 4, is a frequent target of epigenetic silencing in CRC.
