Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Human KIT protooncogene is the cellular homolog of v-kit from the Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma virus, and encodes a 145-kDa type III tyrosine kinase growth factor receptor that is often mutated in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Standardized mutation analysis is no...
