Sarcoma cancer susceptibility
Gene: KIT
This gene was added to this panel after feedback from Laura King (Great Ormond Street Hospital, London) to include genes from the Familial rhabdomyosarcoma gene panel (code 290 version 1.4) and the Inherited predisposition to GIST gene panel (code 523, version 0.20). The highest rating for this gene from these two panels was Green, as captured here in this review.Created: 13 Mar 2019, 2:56 p.m.
