  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ALK MOLECULAR TESTING
    Publication number: 20130288915
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of predicting response of a tumor to an ALK inhibitor and methods of determining diagnosis or prognosis of a subject with a tumor. The methods can include detecting presence of an ALK gene fusion (such as EML4-ALK, TFG-ALK, or KIF5B-ALK) in a sample from a subject. Also disclosed herein are arrays for detecting the presence of ALK and/or ROS1 gene fusions in a sample. In some embodiments, the array includes one or more oligonucleotides complementary to an ALK or ROS1 gene fusion.
