Objective To investigate the feature of c-kit gene mutation in gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) and its correlation with clinicolpathology, molecular targeted therapy,and prognosis.
Methods The related literatures about the molecular genetic mechanism of GIST were reviewed.
Results The c-kit gene mutation, which is prevalent in GIST, may be the early genomic events, and they are not the independent prognostic factor. However, different molecular subtype as a new indicator to regulate biological behaviors and assess prognosis of GIST is still controversial.
Conclusions The study of genotype in GIST has advanced our understanding of pathogenesis, evaluating the prognosis and conducting treatment optimization. However, subsequent work remains to be done.
