The majority of NTRK1, NTRK2, and NTRK3 rearrangements result in increased expression of the kinase portion of the involved gene due to its fusion to an actively transcribed gene partner. Consequently, the analysis of 5′/3′-end expression imbalances is potentially capable of detecting the entire spectrum of NTRK gene fusions. Archival tumor specimens obtained from 8075 patients were subjected to manual dissection of tumor cells, DNA/RNA isolation, and cDNA synthesis. The 5′/3′-end expression imbalances in NTRK genes were analyzed by real-time PCR. Further identification of gene rearrangements was performed by variant-specific PCR for 44 common NTRK fusions, and, whenever necessary, by RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS). cDNA of sufficient quality was obtained in 7424/8075 (91.9%) tumors. NTRK rearrangements were detected in 7/6436 (0.1%) lung carcinomas, 11/137 (8.0%) pediatric tumors, and 13/851 (1.5%) adult non-lung malignancies. The highest incidence of NTRK translocations was observed in pediatric sarcomas (7/39, 17.9%). Increased frequency of NTRK fusions was seen in microsatellite-unstable colorectal tumors (6/48, 12.5%), salivary gland carcinomas (5/93, 5.4%), and sarcomas (7/143, 4.9%). None of the 1293 lung carcinomas with driver alterations in EGFR/ALK/ROS1/RET/MET oncogenes had NTRK 5′/3′-end expression imbalances. Variant-specific PCR was performed for 744 tumors with a normal 5′/3′-end expression ratio: there were no rearrangements in 172 EGFR/ALK/ROS1/RET/MET-negative lung cancers and 125 pediatric tumors, while NTRK3 fusions were detected in 2/447 (0.5%) non-lung adult malignancies. In conclusion, this study describes a diagnostic pipeline that can be used as a cost-efficient alternative to conventional methods of NTRK1–3 analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
