ALK/ROS1/RET Gene Fusion Detection Kit

(CE-IVD)


GENE MUTATION IN LUNG CANCER


Gene fusion refers to a new hybrid gene formed by connecting parts or all of two different genes' sequences. The encoded fusion protein produced by this gene fusion can mediate the occurrence and development of tumors. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), gene fusions, as an important class of molecular mutations, serve as ideal targets for targeted therapy. Therefore, precise detection of gene fusions in NSCLC is crucial for selecting patients who can benefit from corresponding targeted treatments.


Gene fusion-positive NSCLC patients account for 8% to 12% of all NSCLC patients. Currently, various tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) targeting different gene fusions have been approved for clinical treatment. Late-stage NSCLC patients with gene fusion-positive can significantly benefit from corresponding targeted therapies. Additionally, multiple studies have shown that receptor tyrosine kinase fusions are one of the mechanisms for acquired resistance in NSCLC patients receiving specific targeted drug treatments. As a result, the NCCN guidelines for lung cancer diagnosis and treatment list anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS1), and rearranged during transfection (RET) as genes that must be tested.

DETECTION SIGNIFICANCE


Before first-line treatment of inoperable stage III and IV NSCLC patients, common gene detection of lung cancer should be performed, and treatment is recommended to be guided based on molecular classification.


FEATURES & ADVANTAGES


1. Stable and Reliable: Detection with closed tubes , avoid contamination

2. Hight Sensitivity: Detects fusion mutations as low as 100 copies in RNA samples.

3. Comprehensive Coverage: Covers the most common fusion forms of ALK, ROS1 and RET.

4. Fast Results: It  takes 1 working day for the hospital/laboratory to complete the detection process



DETECTION PROCESS


1. Nucleic Acid Extraction

2. Set up qPCR

3. Amplification

4. Data Analysis
