The clinical significance of KIT mutations in melanoma: a meta-analysis.

Melanoma research - 1 Aug 2018

Gong Hui Z, Zheng He Y, Li Jun

Abstract excerpt

This study aimed to evaluate the association of KIT mutations with clinicopathologic features of melanomas using a meta-analysis and to identify differences between Asian and White populations using subgroup analyses. We selected 32 studies from the literature including 5224 patients. The pooled data were combined, and odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. Heterogeneity and...
