Detection rate of ctDNA in imatinib-resistant patients was 57% (31/54). Among these 31 patients, 12 (39%) showed KIT gene mutation (8 with the known drug-resistant KIT mutations, 6 of these patients exhibited single-drug resistance while 2 showed multi-drug resistance due to KIT mutations mainly in Exon 13 V654A, Exons 17 Y823D, D820Y, N822Y, and N822K).
