PDGFRA mutations have been detected in melanoma, AML, peripheral nerve sheath tumors, sarcoma, and neuroendocrine carcinomas (PMID: 23752188, PMID: 20685895), several fusions have also been reported (PMID: 22432087, PMID: 26276769), and amplification has been observed in glioblastoma (PMID: 23438035). | ||||||||||
