Abstract excerpt
c-Kit is the receptor for stem cell factor (SCF) and is found on hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells, melanocytes, and germ cells. Aggregation of c-Kit by SCF regulates cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival. In the process of examining c-Kit, a polymorphism in the transmembrane domain of the protooncogene c-Kit was identified. This polymorphism consisted of an A-to-C transversion at nucleotide (nt)...
