Core Tip	Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency occurs in about 5%-7.5% of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). These so-called SDH-deficient GISTs lack KIT and PDGFRA mutations. Such type of GISTs has its own clinical, morphological and molecular characteristics. The accumulation of hypoxia-inducible factor 1? and the upregulation of its downstream molecules, such as insulin-like growth factor 1 and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, may play important roles in the tumorigenesis of SDH-deficient GISTs. They are promising to be the novel therapeutic targets of GISTs.
