"[We demonstrate that (i) the NF1-related GISTs do not have KIT or PDGFRA mutations, (ii) the molecular event underlying GIST development in this patient group is a somatic inactivation of the wild-type NF1 allele in the tumor and (iii) inactivation of neurofibromin is an alternate mechanism to (hyper) activate the MAP-kinase pathway, while the JAK-STAT3 and PI3K-AKT pathways are less activated in NF1-related GIST compared with sporadic GISTs.].
