ABSTRACT

Los tumores estromales gastrointestinales (GIST) son neoplasias mesenquimales que típicamente surgen a nivel del estómago, intestino delgado, colon, y otros sitios en la cavidad abdominal y su identificación se ha incrementado por mejoras en los criterios de detección. La mayor parte de los tumores GIST son causados por mutaciones activadoras en los genes de receptores transmembranares tirosina quinasa c-KIT y receptor alpha del factor de crecimiento derivado de plaquetas (PDGFRA). Las mutaciones causales de GIST se restringen solo a ciertas regiones del gen que corresponden a importantes zonas funcionales de c-KIT o PDGFRA. Se reporta que hasta 70% de casos de GIST se debe a mutaciones en el exón 11 del gen c-Kit que corresponde a la región yuxtamembrana del receptor. La región y el tipo de mutación determinan diferencialmente cómo se desarrolla la neoplasia, el pronóstico y su respuesta a inhibidores de las tirosina quinasas como el Imanatib. Por tal motivo, el genotipado de KIT y PDGFRA es importante para el diagnóstico y establecimiento de la sensibilidad a los inhibidores tirosina quinasa.


Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are mesenchymal neoplasms typically arising in the stomach, small intestine, colon, and other sites in the abdominal cavity and its identification has improved dramatically mainly due to better criteria in its detection. Most GISTs tumors harbor activating mutations in the tyrosine kinase receptor c-KIT or platelet derived growth factor receptor-alpha (PDGFRA). Those mutations are restricted to a few regions corresponding to important functional domains of c-KIT or PDGFRA. Upto 70% of cases are due to mutations in exon 11 of c-KIT corresponding to its juxtamembrane region of the receptor. The location and type of mutation will differentially determine the development of the disease, its prognosis and the response to inhibitors of tyrosine kinases as Imanatib. For this reason, genotyping c-KIT and PDGFRA is important for GIST diagnosis and assessment of sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
