PDGFRA (exons 10, 12, 14 and 18), and BRAF (exon 15) were performed.<br />

The expression of CD34 was assessed semi-quantitatively using immunohistochemical<br />

staining on tissue microarrays. Methylation analyses<br />

were performed using pyrosequencing of two CpG loci in the promoter<br />

binding region of the CD34 gene (CD34_P339_R and CD34_P780_R).<br />

Furthermore, GIST cell lines 882 and 48B were treated with different<br />

concentrations of the demethylating agent 5-azacitidine (5-azaC), and<br />

the methylation status as well as the mRNA and protein expression of<br />

CD34 were determined.<br />

Results. KIT-mutated tumors of the stomach and rectum were at both<br />

CpG loci of the CD34 gene significantly less methylated compared to<br />

KIT-mutated small intestinal GISTs (p
