| Abstract Text | Histiocytoses are clonal hematopoietic disorders frequently driven by mutations mapping to the BRAF and MEK1 and MEK2 kinases. Currently, however, the developmental origins of histiocytoses in patients are not well understood, and clinically meaningful therapeutic targets outside of BRAF and MEK are undefined. In this study, we uncovered activating mutations in CSF1R and rearrangements in RET and ALK that conferred dramatic responses to selective inhibition of RET (selpercatinib) and crizotinib, respectively, in patients with histiocytosis. | ||||||||||||

| CSF1R | NCBI | BANDDOS|C-FMS|CD115|CSF-1R|CSFR|FIM2|FMS|GPSC|HDLS|HDLS1|M-CSF-R | CSF1R, colony stimulating factor 1 receptor, is a tyrosine kinase and receptor for CSF1 and IL34, which upon ligand binding activates PI3K-AKT-mTOR, RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK and STAT signaling pathways (PMID: 22186992). CSF1R is expressed by tumor-associated macrophages to induce tumor promotion (PMID: 30065206) and therefore, a number of therapies to block Csf1r are under development (PMID: 28716061), and Csf1r activating mutations have been reported in histiocytic neoplasms (PMID: 31768065). | Oncogene |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CSF1R | W450_E456del | deletion | gain of function | CSF1R W450_E456del results in a deletion of seven amino acids within the Ig-like C2 type domain 5 of the Csf1r protein (UniProt.org). W450_E456del confers a gain of function to the Csf1r protein, resulting in cytokine-independent cell growth and increased Mek/Erk signaling in culture (PMID: 31768065). | |
| CSF1R | Y546_K551del | deletion | gain of function | CSF1R Y546_K551del results in the deletion of six amino acids in the regulatory juxtamembrane domain of the Csf1r protein from amino acids 546 to 551 (UniProt.org). Y546_K551del confers a gain of function to the Csf1r protein, as it leads to increased Mek/Erk signaling in vitro and increased cytokine-independent cell growth in culture (PMID: 31768065). | |
| CSF1R | Y561_I564del | deletion | unknown | CSF1R Y561_I564del results in the deletion of four amino acids in the regulatory juxtamembrane domain of the Csf1r protein from amino acids 561 to 564 (UniProt.org). Y561_I564del has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 31768065, PMID: 34978715), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Csf1r protein function is unknown (PubMed, Feb 2026). | |
| KIT | R888W | missense | unknown | KIT R888W lies within the protein kinase domain of the Kit protein (UniProt.org). R888W has been identified in sequencing studies (PMID: 31768065, PMID: 30393068) but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown (PubMed, Feb 2026). |
