Analysis of PDGFRA Mutations in 351 Chinese Melanomas and Evaluation of Their Sensitivity to Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Imatinib and Crenolanib
PDGFRα is a target for tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)-based targeted therapy.Dysregulation of PDGFRα has been reported in many cancers.However, PDGFRA mutations in melanomas have not been well studied.We analyzed the genetic mutations of PDGFRA in Chinese melanoma patients, and determined the inhibitory potency of TKIs such as imatinib and crenolanib on mutant PDGFRA.351 melanoma tissue samples were examined for genetic mutations in exons 12, 14 and 18 of PDGFRA by PCR amplification and Sanger sequencing.PDGFRA mutations were observed in 4.6%(16/351)of melanomas.
