Biomarker Facts

Biomarker typegene_fusion
Mutation details{"functional_impact": "Constitutive ALK kinase activation", "gene": "ALK", "partners": ["EML4 (most common)", "KIF5B", "TFG", "KLC1", "STRN", "and others"], "type": "chromosomal rearrangement (typically inversion at 2p21-23)"}
Measurement
MethodRNA-based NGS (preferred for fusion sensitivity) OR FISH OR IHC (D5F3 antibody)
Sensitivity requirementRNA-NGS captures fusion partners; FISH break-apart probe detects rearrangements
Related biomarkersNone declared

Notes

IHC screen → confirmatory FISH or NGS. Modern NGS panels detect ALK fusions directly.
