Conclusions

  • This series provides unprecedented resolution of KIT/PDGFRA mut GIST with features of clinical aggressiveness associated with KIT exon 11 indels and resistance mutations, illustrating a specific cytogenetic genotype with more aggressive growth and malignant behavior.
  • Identification of less common molecular alterations that drive kinase activation and impaired DNA damage repair warrant further investigation.
