Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Most gain of function mutations of tyrosine kinase receptors in human tumours are hemizygous. Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GIST) with homozygous mutations have a worse prognosis. We aimed to identify genes differentially regulated by hemizygous and heterozygous KIT mutations. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Expression of 94 genes and 384 miRNA was analysed with low density arrays in five NIH3T3 cell lines...
