Laboratory assay overview
Activating c-KIT mutations have been indentified in various human cancers. c-KIT exon 8 and 17 mutations have been described in patients with CBF-AMLs and usually confer a poor prognosis with increased relapse rate. c-KIT exon 9, 11, 13, 17 mutations have been reported in nearly 90% GIST patients. The presence mutation usually predict poor survival. c-KIT exon 17 mutation has been reported in patients with systemic mastocytosis.
