Another diagnostic marker for GISTs, DOG1 (Discovered on GIST 1, also known as Anoctamin-1), shows even higher sensitivity, detecting up to 36% of KIT-negative GISTs [9], but it is commonly expressed in gastric carcinomas and mesenchymal sarcomas such as leiomyoma and synovial sarcoma [10]. Here, KIT is linked to leiomyoma.
