Mutation analysis of <i>C‐KIT</i> in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes without mastocytosis and cases of systemic mastocytosis
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
The proto-oncogene C-KIT encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor that is expressed on mast cells and haematopoietic stem cells and can show somatic mutations in patients with mastocytosis. Only scattered information is available about mutations in C-KIT in patients with other myeloid neoplasms. Moreover, the prevalence of mutations in C-KIT in bone marrow specimens of individuals with systemic mastocytosis is largely...
