Classes of c-KIT activating mutations: proposed mechanisms of action and implications for disease classification and therapy.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations causing constitutive activation of KIT have been shown to be causative in some forms of mastocytosis, and several types of mutations have been associated with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), sinonasal lymphomas, and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). We divide these activating mutation into two types - 'regulatory type' mutations, which affect regulation of...
