The “cKIT Mutation Screening Exons 9, 11, 13, 17 Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE, designed to detect mutations in specific exons (9, 11, 13, and 17) of the cKIT gene. These mutations are critically important in the context of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), as they can influence both the prognosis and the therapeutic approach for patients. GISTs are a type of tumor that occurs in the digestive tract, and the presence of cKIT mutations can make them responsive to targeted therapies, improving patient outcomes.

The test involves collecting a tissue sample from the tumor, which is then analyzed using advanced molecular techniques to identify any genetic alterations in the specified exons of the cKIT gene. This precision approach allows for a more tailored treatment plan, which could include targeted therapies specifically designed to address the identified mutations.

Offered at a cost of 2400 AED, this test represents a critical step for patients diagnosed with GIST, providing them with essential information that can guide their treatment plan. DNA Labs UAE is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and employs highly skilled professionals to ensure accurate and reliable test results, contributing to better management and outcomes for GIST patients.

Test Details:

KIT mutation screening is a diagnostic test used to detect mutations in the KIT gene in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). GISTs are a type of tumor that originates in the gastrointestinal tract, particularly in the stomach or small intestine. The KIT gene provides instructions for making a protein called KIT receptor, which plays a crucial role in the growth and survival of certain cells, including the cells of the gastrointestinal tract. Mutations in the KIT gene can lead to the overactivation of the KIT receptor, causing uncontrolled cell growth and the development of GISTs.

The screening test focuses on specific regions of the KIT gene, including exons 9, 11, 13, and 17. Exons are the coding regions of genes that contain the instructions for making proteins. Mutations in these exons have been found to be common in GISTs and are associated with the development and progression of the tumors.

The screening process typically involves obtaining a tissue sample from the tumor through a biopsy or surgical procedure. The DNA from the sample is then analyzed using various techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or next-generation sequencing (NGS), to identify any mutations in the KIT gene.

The results of the screening test can help guide treatment decisions for patients with GISTs. Some KIT mutations have been found to be sensitive to specific targeted therapies, such as imatinib, which can inhibit the overactive KIT receptor and slow down the growth of the tumor.

Overall, KIT mutation screening is an important tool in the diagnosis and management of GISTs, allowing for personalized treatment approaches based on the specific genetic characteristics of the tumor.
