Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: During tumorigenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), the most frequent changes are reported to be gain-of-function mutations in the C-KIT proto-oncogene. However, we speculated that additional genetic alterations are required for the progression of GISTs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Using 15 cases diagnosed with GISTs, we searched for novel indicator genes by microarray analyses using an Oligo...
