Abstract: The aim of this study was to discuss the role of  c-KIT  mutation in the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) and analyze its correlation with proliferation and apoptosis.  c-KIT  and PDGFRA  genotypes were examined by deoxyribonucleic acid sequencing. Immunohistochemistry was performed to determine the expression levels of Kit, Ki-67 (proliferation marker), and apoptotic protease-activating factor (APAF)-1 (apoptosis marker) and the relationship between their three genes. In the 68 cases examined, 44 cases (64.7%) showed mutations in one of the four exons of c-KIT . The mutations were most frequently found in exon 11 (30 cases [44.1%]), followed by exon 9 (ten cases [14.7%]) and exon 13 (four cases [5.9%]). c-KIT  mutation showed no association with prognostic factors using the classification of risk of aggressive behavior in GIST proposed by Fletcher et al. No cases had mutated exon 17 of c-KIT , and neither did exon 12, 14, or 18 of PDGFRA  in our present study. There was a positive correlation between the expression level of Kit and Ki-67 (R =0.282, P =0.020). Conversely, a negative correlation was found between the expression levels of Kit and APAF1 (R =−0.243, P =0.046). In conclusion, most GISTs with Kit expression showed c-KIT  mutation. Kit expression has a positive correlation with Ki-67 and a negative correlation with APAF1, showing that c-KIT  is involved in GIST occurrence and development through proliferation promotion and apoptosis inhibition.
