CKIT Mutation Screening (Exons 9, 11, 13, 17) Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) are rare tumors that can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract. The cKIT gene is a gene that is commonly mutated in GISTs. Mutations in this gene can lead to the development of GISTs.

Symptoms of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

The symptoms of GISTs can vary depending on the location and size of the tumor. Some common symptoms include:

• Abdominal pain or discomfort
• Bloating or a feeling of fullness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Blood in the stool or vomit

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to speak with your doctor.

Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors

The diagnosis of GISTs typically involves a combination of imaging tests, such as CT scans or MRIs, and a biopsy. During a biopsy, a small sample of the tumor is taken and examined under a microscope to determine if it is cancerous.

What is cKIT Mutation Screening?

cKIT mutation screening is a genetic test that looks for mutations in the cKIT gene. This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of GISTs. Mutations in the cKIT gene can make the tumor more aggressive and resistant to certain treatments.

Exons 9, 11, 13, and 17

Exons 9, 11, 13, and 17 are specific regions of the cKIT gene that are commonly mutated in GISTs. Mutations in these regions can provide important information about the tumor and can help guide treatment decisions.

Cost of cKIT Mutation Screening

The cost of cKIT mutation screening can vary depending on the testing facility and location. In India, the cost of cKIT mutation screening for Exons 9, 11, 13, and 17 is approximately INR 12,000.

Conclusion

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors can be a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. If you are experiencing symptoms, it is important to speak with your doctor. cKIT mutation screening can provide important information about the tumor and can help guide treatment decisions. The cost of cKIT mutation screening in India is approximately INR 12,000.
