Using lung cancer tissue microarrays containing 1,528 samples, rearrangement of KIF5B was examined by a split FISH assay to discover new fusions, because they previously identified KIF5B-ALK fusions in lung cancer (Takeuchi et al., 2009) and thus hypothesized that KIF5B might fuse to other kinases in lung cancer. The gene discussed is KIF5B; the disease is lung carcinoma.
