Gene duplication, rather than epigenetic changes, drives FGF4 overexpression in KIT/PDGFRA/SDH/RAS-P WT GIST
16 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours that are wild type for KIT and PDGFRA are referred to as WT GISTs. Of these tumours, SDH-deficient (characterized by the loss of SDHB) and quadruple WT GIST (KIT/PDGFRA/SDH/RAS-P WT) subgroups were reported to display a marked overexpression of FGF4, identifying a putative common therapeutic target for the first time. In SDH-deficient GISTs, methylation of an FGF insulator region...
