Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tumor genotype plays a crucial role in clinical management of GIST. Whether genetic polymorphism of KIT may influence GIST patient outcome is unclear. METHODS: We investigated the biological and clinical significance of the presence of KIT exon 10 variant (c.1621 A > C), KIT (L541), in a transfected cell line (3 T3 L541) and in two retrospectively collected series of 109 GIST patients in total. The...
