An Unusual PDGFRA Mutation in Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor and Its NGS Data Analysis
1. Abstract 1.1. Introduction Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the gastrointestinal tract [1]. About 75% of GISTs harbor activating mutations of KIT and About 10% of GISTs harbor PDGFRA activating mutations [2]. PDGFRA is the second most mutated oncogene in GIST and are particularly associated with gastric tumors [3,4].
