    EP1.14-45 - ROS1-ADGRG6: A Novel ROS1 Oncogenic Fusion Variant in Lung Adenocarcinoma and the Response to Crizotinib (ID 96)

    • Abstract

    Background
    

    ROS1 rearrangements are validated driver genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and have been identified in a small subset (1%-2%) of patients with NSCLC. To date, 18 different fusion genes of ROS1 in NSCLC have been identified. The ALK inhibitor, crizotinib, exhibits therapeutic efficacy against ROS1-rearranged NSCLC. In addition to immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR, and fluorescence in situ hybridization, next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology represents a novel tool for ROS1 detection that covers a wide range of fusion genes.

    Method
    

    A 55-year-old female with stage IV was detected with a novel ROS1 fusion afther treated with gefitinib due to detection of an EGFR mutation (L858R). Histological examination was consistent with lung adenocarcinoma.

    Result
    

    A NGS assay showed that the tumor had a novel ROS1-ADGRG6 rearrangement generated by the fusion of exons of 1-33 of ROS1 on chr6: q22.1 to exons of 2-26 of ADGRG6 on chr6: q24.2. The predicted ROS1-ADGRG6 protein product contained 3075 amino acids comprising the N-terminal amino acids 1-1853 of ROS1 and C-terminal amino acid 1-1222 of ADGRG6. The patient had a favorable tumor response to crizotinib.

    Conclusion
    

    ROS1-ADGRG6 is a novel ROS1 fusion gene in NSCLC detected by NGS and should be considered in ROS1 detection assays.
