Collaborative Stage

Note 1: Some gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) have oncogenic mutations of the platelet-derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA)gene, located on chromosome 4q. This test is a special molecular diagnostic test performed on tumor tissue to identify PDGFRA mutations. Some GISTs that are negative for KIT mutations are positive for PDGFRA mutation.
Note 2: Code the result of the PDGFRA gene test. Another name for PDGFRA is CD140A.
Note 3: See CS Site-Specific Factors 12 and 13 for coding information about KIT gene expression and mutations.
