Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumours (GISTs) with KRAS Mutation: A Rare but Important Subset of GISTs
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumours of the GI tract, usually found in the stomach, jejunum, and ileum. Typically, they are KIT or PDGFR-mutated, allowing for targetable treatments with tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib. Here, we present two KRAS-mutated wild-type gastrointestinal tumours (GISTs). Both cases occurred in the small bowel of females. Immunohistochemical studies on both tumours showed KIT and DOG-1 positivity, with SDHB retained. Molecular analysis revealed a KRAS G12D mutation and a KRAS G13D mutation, respectively. Wild-type GISTs are extremely uncommon. They typically occur in the stomach or the small bowel. KRAS is one of the genes implicated in this subset of GIST, with KRAS G12D being the most frequently encountered mutation. GIST KRAS mutations can arise alone or in conjunction with KIT, PDFRA, or BRAF mutations. Identification of these rare molecular subtypes is clinically important due to their resistance to imatinib therapy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
