“DESCRIPTION
DOG1 is a cell surface protein of unknown function selectively expressed in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Among GIST cases with Kit mutations the DOG1 antibody identified 11% more cases than c-Kit antibody. DOG1 identifies the vast majority of both cKIT negative and Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor Alpha (PDGFRA) mutated GIST cases that may still benefit from imatinib mesylate (Gleevec®), an inhibitor of the Kit tyrosine kinase. In addition, DOG1 immunoreactivity is seen in fewer cases of mesanchymal, epithelial tumors and melanomas when compared with cKIT. The use of this highly sensitive and specific novel marker will increase the accuracy of GIST diagnosis.
