GTF2IRD1-ALK Fusion FISH Probe

The GTF2IRD1-ALK Fusion FISH Probe is used to confirm a fusion of the GTF2IRD1 and ALK genes. The fusion of the GTF2IRD1 and ALK genes has been associated with Thyroid Carcinoma. These probes are FISH confirmed on normal peripheral blood in both interphase nuclei and metaphase spreads before shipment. Typical turnaround time for this product is 7-14 days after purchase.

ALK Gene Summary

This gene encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase, which belongs to the insulin receptor superfamily. This protein comprises an extracellular domain, an hydrophobic stretch corresponding to a single pass transmembrane region, and an intracellular kinase domain. It plays an important role in the development of the brain and exerts its effects on specific neurons in the nervous system. This gene has been found to be rearranged, mutated, or amplified in a series of tumours including anaplastic large cell lymphomas, neuroblastoma, and non-small cell lung cancer. The chromosomal rearrangements are the most common genetic alterations in this gene, which result in creation of multiple fusion genes in tumourigenesis, including ALK (chromosome 2)/EML4 (chromosome 2), ALK/RANBP2 (chromosome 2), ALK/ATIC (chromosome 2), ALK/TFG (chromosome 3), ALK/NPM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/SQSTM1 (chromosome 5), ALK/KIF5B (chromosome 10), ALK/CLTC (chromosome 17), ALK/TPM4 (chromosome 19), and ALK/MSN (chromosome X).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2011]

GTF2IRD1 Gene Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains five GTF2I-like repeats and each repeat possesses a potential helix-loop-helix (HLH) motif. It may have the ability to interact with other HLH-proteins and function as a transcription factor or as a positive transcriptional regulator under the control of Retinoblastoma protein. This gene plays a role in craniofacial and cognitive development and mutations have been associated with Williams-Beuren syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by deletion of multiple genes at 7q11.23. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

Atypical Spitzoid Neoplasms in Childhood: A Molecular and Outcome Study

Atypical spitzoid neoplasms (APNs) are primarily pediatric lesions characterized by their intermediate features; clinically and histopathologically, they fall somewhere between benign spitz nevi and malignant melanoma. The genetics of these tumors are still poorly understood. In this study, 34 APNs were analyzed using FISH and IHC. Our ALK, BRAF, and NTRK1 break-apart FISH probes were used to detect rearrangements of the genes .

Alterations in ALK/ROS1/NTRK/MET drive a group of infantile hemispheric gliomas

While studies are plentiful on adult gliomas, infant cases are historically understudied. This team sought to account for that lack of data by analyzing glioma biopsies from 150 infants. As part of genetic profiling, our ALK break apart probe was used to detect ALK rearrangements. The team was able to divide the tumors into three genetic subtypes that were tightly tied to clinical outcome. They also found that many of the tumors harbored just a single oncogene, evidence that infant gliomas are usually single driver tumors.

ALK-rearranged renal cell carcinomas in Polish population

Since the first report 2010, 22 cases of ALK-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC) have been described. This study screened over 1000 Polish RCC patients for ALK translocations using IHC followed by FISH with our ALK break apart FISH probe. Only 31 cases were considered potentially positive or indeterminable by IHC; of these, none tested positive for ALK rearrangement with FISH. These results suggests that the mutation might be related to ethnicity, warranting further investigation into its prevalence in other ethnicities.
