HomeLab TestC-kit mutation analysis
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.
Risk assessment
C-kit may also be found in higher than normal amounts, or in a changed form, on some types of cancer cells, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors and melanoma. Measuring the amount of c-kit in tumor tissue may help diagnose cancer and plan treat...
Ranges
Among these CSC markers, c-kit is the most commonly used [8–11] because c-kit positive (c-kit+) cells have been shown to differentiate into cardiac cells including cardiomyocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, and endothelial cells [8,42]
Test result interpretation
C-kit mutation analysis is a genetic test that detects mutations in the c-kit gene, also known as the KIT proto-oncogene. Mutations in the c-kit gene can be associated with various malignancies, particularly gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), m...
