Figure 6From: Systematic bioinformatic analysis of expression levels of 17,330 human genes across 9,783 samples from 175 types of healthy and pathological tissuesExpression profile for the KIT gene shows interesting patterns in the bodymap in Figure 5. KIT exhibits extremely high expression in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. KIT is known to be inhibited by Gleevec®, demonstrating that findings like these pinpoint immediate possibilities for drug repositioning.Back to article page
