1 ALK Gene Rearrangements: A New Therapeutic Target in a Molecularly Defined Subset of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer  Benjamin Solomon, MBBS, PhD, Marileila Varella-Garcia, PhD, D Ross Camidge, MD, PhD  Journal of Thoracic Oncology  Volume 4, Issue 12, Pages (December 2009) DOI: /JTO.0b013e3181c4dedb Copyright © 2009 International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 A, Chromosome 2 idiogram showing location and design of the dual-color ALK break-apart fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe that includes DNA contigs adjacent to the ALK gene, the 3′ contig is labeled with red fluorochromes and the 5′ is labeled with green fluorochromes. B, Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) specimen showing fused red/green signals representing normal copies of the ALK (yellow arrows) and single red and green signals (red and green arrows) indicating that chromosomal break occurred between the 3′ and the 5′ contigs.
