Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oncogenic RET fusion, caused by an inversion in chromosome 10, was recently identified as a driver mutation for the development of lung adenocarcinoma (LADC). Nevertheless, the molecular mechanism(s) underlying the rearrangement of the RET locus during lung carcinogenesis are unknown. METHODS: Genomic segments containing breakpoint junctions for RET fusions were cloned and analyzed by genomic...
