Example sentences for: hypereosinophilic
How can you use “hypereosinophilic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Although imatinib inhibits different kinases in various diseases (BCR-ABL in CML, KIT or PDGFR-alpha in gastrointestinal stromal tumors [GISTs], and PDGFR-alpha in hypereosinophilic syndrome [HES]) (reviewed in [14]), some tumors that become refractory to treatment with imatinib appear to have analogous secondary mutations in the kinase-coding domain of the genes encoding these three enzymes.
Similar mutations in the homologous residues of the kinase domains of PDGFRA (T674I) and KIT (T670I) account for imatinib resistance in some patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome and gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors, respectively [4,12].
For example, imatinib is effective in treatment of chronic myelomonocytic leukemia with gene rearrangements that constitutively activate PDGFRB [3], of hypereosinophilic syndrome with activating mutations in PDGFRA [4], and of gastrointestinal stromal cell tumors associated with activating mutations in KIT [5] (all reviewed in [6]).
