Molecular subsets of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Gene that encodes a receptor tyrosine protein associated with a mast cell growth factor receptor (KIT); platelet-derived growth factor receptor A (PDGFRA); gene that encodes an enzyme belonging to the RAF family of serine-threonine protein kinases participating in the RAS-RAF-ERK pathway (BRAF); wild-type (WT) normal gene sequence that does not contain any somatic mutations
