Breaking Down RET Breakpoints in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Abstract

The work by Mizukami et al., published in this issue, describes precise genomic breakpoints on 18 lung adenocarcinoma samples with oncogenic RET rearrangements, which occur in ~2% of lung adenocarcinomas. Sequence analysis indicates that breakpoints occur at non-specific sites, using variable mechanisms for DNA repair. This study provides important information for the development of molecular tests for this genomic rearrangement.
