Abstract Text Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene rearrangements, have been identified in approximately 2-7% of patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, co-occurrence of double ALK fusions in one patient was rare. Herein, we reported two Chinese female LUAD patients with confirmed double ALK fusion variants by next generation sequencing.Case 1, a 38-year-old female was diagnosed as peripheral LUAD in left upper lobe with synchronous multiple intrapulmonary metastases (pT2N0M1b, stage IVa). And case 2, a 58-year-old female had left lower lobe primary LUAD and synchronous multiple lung metastases (pT4N2M1b, stage IVa). In both patients, tumor cells displayed strong expression of ALK protein. Genetic profiling by next generation sequencing showed both patients concurrently harbored two types of ALK rearrangements. Case 1 had an unreported ALK-SSH2/EML4-ALK double fusions, and case 2 had an another novel ARID2-ALK/EML4-ALK double fusions. Both of these patients responded to ALK inhibitor crizotinib.Our study reported two novel ALK fusion partners never reported, which expands the knowledge of ALK fusion spectrum and provides insight into therapeutic options for patients with double ALK fusions.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.
