Abstract excerpt
Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are primarily driven by activating mutations in the receptor tyrosine kinases KIT or PDGFRA. Targeted therapies have significantly improved patient outcomes; however, acquired drug resistance continues to limit long-term efficacy. Secondary and tertiary mutations across distinct regions of the kinase domain affect the conformational equilibrium or directly disrupt drug...
