inv(2)(p21;p23)(EML4,ALK) fusion transcript [Presence] in Tissue by Molecular genetics method
Active
Term Description
The qualitative detection of known EML4-ALK gene fusions by various molecular genetic techniques to determine therapeutic treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Part Description
LP200476-2 inv(2)(p21;p23)(EML4,ALK)
The inversion on chromosome 2 resulting in the fusion of genes EM4L [HGNC ID: 1316] and ALK [HGNC Gene ID: 427] is a chromosomal abnormality found in various histologic types of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The fusion encodes for the EML4-ALK protein, which promotes and maintains cancer cell growth. The detection of EML4-ALK may be useful for predicting the potential response to ALK inhibitors as a therapeutic option for patients with lung cancer. PMID: 19170230
