Background: Kaposi9s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV)/human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8)
is consistently found in almost all observed Kaposi9s sarcomas (KS), whether AIDS-…

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumors of the
gastrointestinal tract and are characterized by mutations in the proto-oncogene KIT (c-kit). To …

… For each genotype the odds ratio (OR), its 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and p values
were obtained. P values are two-sided and significance is at p<0.05. For the calculations, …

… Subtypes A1 and A4 were less likely to be associated with poor risk tumour extension (p=
0,031) and A1 was associated with lower likelihood of lower limb involvement (p= 0,004). …

The link between human herpesvirus 8 (KSHV) and Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) has been proven,
but many important aspects including risk factors, genetic predisposition to tumor …

Introduction: Automated capillary electrophoresis single strand conformation polymorphism (CE-SSCP),
denaturant gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), and direct sequencing were …

We present a case of iatrogenic Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) in a 64-year-old, human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV)-negative woman with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) following …

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common gastrointestinal mesenchymal
tumors driven by KIT or PDGFRA mutations. A majority of these mutations affect KIT exon 11 …

Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) is thought to be essential for the development of all forms of
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). HHV-8 DNA is present virtually in all KS tumor biopsy samples. …

… in both cKS and epidemic KS patients (p=0.02 for both), whereas KIR2DS1 and KIR3DS1
genes were more prevalent in cKS patients (p=0.02 and p=0.04 respectively). Moreover, …
