  • Publication number: 20220148677
    Abstract: Gene fusions are hybrid genes formed by two previously separate genes. Many such gene fusions may be strong driver mutations for cancer and may play important roles in tumorigenesis. Gene fusions may be identified in biological samples extracted from the diseased location. However, for lung cancer, extracting samples from the nodules may be challenging and may lead to undesirable consequences. Disclosed herein is a method and system of identifying a gene fusion landscape from bronchial brushings and further identifying fusions that may be potentially associated with lung cancer.
