Table 5. Clinical response of advanced GISTs to imatinib 400 mg correlated with mutational status (34).
| Genotype | Percentage of cases | Imatinib response |
|---|---|---|
| CD117 exon 11 mutation | 70% | 85% |
| CD117 exon 9 mutation | 15% | 45% |
| CD117 exon 13 mutation | <5% | Some (few cases) |
| CD117 exon 17 mutation | <5% | Some (few cases) |
| PDGFRA D842V mutation | 4% | None |
| PDGFRA other mutations | 1% | Some (few cases) |
| No CD117 or PDGFRA mutation | 5–10% | Little |
