KIT mutations are prevalent in many cancers, including gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST, a soft tissue sarcoma) (90%)[3], genetical tract cancers (22%), hematopoietic and lymphoid cancers (13.8%), and Melanomas (7%) ([https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic/gene/analysis?ln=kit see COSMIC]).

Mutations that cause constitutive activation of KIT are detected in AML patients. These mutations fall into two classes, the most common being in-frame internal tandem duplications of variable length in the juxtamembrane region that disrupt the normal regulation of the kinase activity and point mutations in the kinase domain that result in a constitutively activated kinase.

Mutations of KIT have been shown to have prognostic significance among AML with t(8;21)(q22;q22) (RUNX1-RUNXT1) and inv(16)(p13.1q22)/ t(16;16)(p13.1;q22) (CBFB-MYH11), in which they are associated with a poor prognosis.  These KIT mutations most commonly occur within exon 8 and 17. [1].  KIT mutations occurs primarily in a subset of leukemias containing inv(16) or t(8;21), so-called core factor binding AML. Apart from exon 17 mutations, also internal tandem duplications in exon 11 have been described. Prognosis. Presence of D816V mutation in KIT is a poor prognostic factor [[http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Genes/KITID127.html see Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology]].

==Gene Overview==
   −
Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for the cytokine KITLG/SCF and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration and function, and in melanogenesis. ([https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P10721 adapted from UniProt Description]).
+
The KIT gene encodes tyrosine kinase protein receptor  and is the human homolog of the proto-oncogene first described in the feline sarcoma virus, v-KIT.  Stem Cell Factor protein (SCF) is the ligand which binds to Kit protein, causing dimerization and activation of signaling cascades which are involved in a wide variety of cellular roles including:  regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration and function, and in melanogenesis.  Mutations in this gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myeloid leukemia, and other diseases  The Kit protein .

Mutations in KIT are found clustered in the C-terminal tyrosine kinase domain, the majority occurring at position D816 ([https://cancer.sanger.ac.uk/cosmic/gene/analysis?ln=kit see COSMIC]). .  The presence of the KIT D816V mutation in malignaicies confers Imatinib resistance [4]. In AML, the most common KIT mutations are in-frame, internal tandem duplications of variable length in the juxtamembrane region that disrupt the normal regulation of the kinase activity.
