Loss of SDHA Expression Identifies SDHA Mutations in Succinate Dehydrogenase–deficient Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors
11 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Succinate dehydrogenase-deficient gastrointestinal stromal tumors (SDH-deficient GISTs) are a unique class of GIST defined by negative immunohistochemical staining for succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB). SDH-deficient GISTs show distinctive clinical and pathologic features including absence of KIT and PDGFRA mutations, exclusive gastric location, common lymph node metastasis, a prognosis not predicted by size and...
