Abstract excerpt
The primary role of protooncogene c-kit in mast cell differentiation is supported by the development of mast cells from CD34+/CD117+(c-kit) myeloid precursors. Growth factor independence, neoplastic transformation and differentiation of mast cells were found in association with c-kit activating mutations in both murine and human mastocytoma and mast cell diseases. We have identified a novel c-kit mutation (D816Y)...
