Identification of <i>KIF5B-RET</i> and <i>GOPC-ROS1</i> Fusions in Lung Adenocarcinomas through a Comprehensive mRNA-Based Screen for Tyrosine Kinase Fusions
11 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mutually exclusive pattern of the major driver oncogenes in lung cancer suggests that other mutually exclusive oncogenes exist. We conducted a systematic search for tyrosine kinase fusions by screening all tyrosine kinases for aberrantly high RNA expression levels of the 3' kinase domain (KD) exons relative to more 5' exons. METHODS: We studied 69 patients (including five never smokers and 64...
