RESULTS
EGFR Exon 18 Mutation EGFR Exon 19 Mutation EGFR Exon 20 Mutation EGFR Exon 21 Mutation
Note
1. This is an in-house developed test useful for the detection of point mutations and insertions/deletions in
Exons 18 - 21.
2. Sanger Sequencing detects Point mutations in exons 18, 20 and 21 (LOD 10%) while Fragment
analysis detects insertions/deletions in exons 19 and 20 (LOD 1%)
3. The tissue should contain at-least 10% of tumor cells.
4. This assay does not detect mutations located in regions of the genes that are not analyzed and gross
genetic alterations including most large deletions, duplications, and inversions.
Comment
The identification of EGFR as an oncogene has led to the development of anticancer therapeutics directed
against EGFR (called "EGFR inhibitors"), including Gefitinib and Erlotinib for lung cancer, and Cetuximab for
colon cancer. Patients positive for EGFR mutations benefit from Tyrosine kinase inhibitors like Gefitinib. About
20% of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) carry the EGFR mutation and 85% of these patients benefit
from therapy with Erlotinib and Gefitinib.

Result: FISH analysis on a paraffin-embedded tissue is negative for ALK1 gene rearrangement in 50 interphase nuclei
scored.
A specimen is considered positive for an ALK gene rearrangement when >15% of tumor cells show split signals or single 3’
ALK signals with a minimum of 50 cells scored. Therefore, this result is considered negative for an ALK rearrangement.
Structural rearrangements of the ALK gene include paracentric inversions of the short arm of chromosome 2 and
translocations involving various translocation partners with the ALK gene. Also, deletions of the 5’ ALK gene region are a
recurrent abnormality in conjunction with inversions and result in the loss of a single 5’ ALK signal.

Comment : Non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) accounts for 75% to 80% of all lung cancers with an overall 5-year
survival rate of 10% to 15%. Standard chemotherapy regimens have had marginal success in improving clinical outcomes.
Rearrangements of the Anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) locus are found in a small subset of lung
carcinomas and the identification of ALK-driven lung cancer guides important therapeutic management of these tumors.
Rearrangement (translocation) of the ALK gene with a fusion partner gene, most commonly echinoderm microtubule-
associated protein-like 4 (EML4), results in a constitutively active fusion gene. Lung cancers harboring ALK rearrangements
are highly sensitive to ALK inhibitor drugs, which work by blocking certain kinases including those produced by the abnormal
ALK fusion gene. The FDA has approved the use of Xalkori (Crizotinib), an ALK inhibitor drug, for NSCLC patients with
tumors exhibiting ALK rearrangements.
Uses : Detection of rearrangements involving the ALK gene region at 2p23 in patients with Non-small cell lung carcinoma
who may benefit from treatment with the ALK inhibitor drugs, like Xalkori (Crizotinib).
