Fluorescence in-situ Hybridization (FISH)

ALK1 Break Apart Rearrangement Assay

Specimen : Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue block

Clinical Indication : To rule out ALK1 gene rearrangement

Block No: : B/1010 (60% Tumor)

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.

Normal nuclei Abnormal nuclei

Probe : LSI ALK1 (2p23) Spectrum Orange Spectrum Green probe.

Cut off : Sample is considered negative if <10% cells are positive.
Sample is considered positive if >15% cells are positive.
Sample is considered equivocal if <10 to 15% cells are positive.

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).
