Abstract excerpt
The c-kit gene encodes a transmembrane receptor kinase (KIT) which is expressed in the majority of human gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), a subtype of gastrointestinal mesenchymal neoplasms. A previous study identified mutations in the juxtamembrane (JM) domain of c-kit in five of six GISTs (Science 279: 577, 1998).
