Quantitative detection of ALK fusion breakpoints in plasma cell-free DNA from patients with non-small cell lung cancer using PCR-based target sequencing with a tiling primer set and two-step mapping/alignment |
| description |
Tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeted to anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) have been demonstrated to be effective for lung cancer patients with an ALK fusion gene. To detect ALK fusions, because fusion breakpoints occur somewhere in intron 19 of the ALK gene, sequencing of the entire intron is required to locate breakpoints. We constructed a target sequencing system using an adapter and a set of tiling primers that cover the entire ALK intron 19. This system can amplify fragments, including breakpoints, regardless of fusion partners. The data analysis pipeline firstly detected fusions by alignment to selected target sequences, and then quantitated the fusion alleles aligning to the identified breakpoint sequences. The system offers an alternative to existing approaches based on hybridization capture. |
