KIT D816V Mutation Detection by PCR for Gleevec Eligibility in Aggressive Systemic Mastocytosis (ASM) is an in vitro diagnostic test intended for qualitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection of KIT D816V mutational status from fresh bone marrow samples of patients with aggressive systemic mastocytosis. The KIT D816V mutational assay is indicated as an aid in the selection of ASM patients for whom Gleevec® (imatinib mesylate) treatment is being considered.
