Site-Specific Factor 9

PDGFRA Gene Mutation

Notes

**Note 1:** Some gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) 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 **Site-Specific Factor 7, KIT Gene Immunohistochemistry (IHC)** and **Site Specific Factor 8, KIT Gene Mutations** for coding information about KIT gene expression and mutations.
