Molecular alterations in PDGFRA are well-described as drivers of sporadic gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and inflammatory fibroid polyps (IFPs). However, a small number of families with germline PDGFRA mutations in exons 12, 14, and 18 have been reported, forming the basis of an autosomal dominant inherited disorder with incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity, now referred to as PDGFRA-mutant...
