Abstract:
Prognosis methods for predicting clinical outcome for a human subject diagnosed with squamous cell lung carcinoma using a panel of molecular markers that includes CDKN2A and CCND1. CDKN2A / p16 deletion or loss of function mutation and CCND1 amplification are related to the subject's increased likelihood of a negative clinical outcome.

Abstract:
The disclosure provides compositions, kits, and methods for detecting a plurality of genes and associated variants in a sample from a subject with lung cancer. The compositions, kits, and methods include a set of oligonucleotides, typically primers and/or probes that can hybridize to identify a gene variant. The methods disclosed herein provide for a mutation status of a tumor to be determined and subsequently associated with an actionable treatment recommendation.
Abstract:
A method for detecting a gene fusion includes amplifying a nucleic acid sample in the presence of primer pool to produce a plurality of amplicons. The primer pool includes primers targeting a plurality of exon-exon junctions of a driver gene. The amplicons correspond to the exon-exon junctions. The amplicons are sequenced and aligned to a reference sequence. The number of reads corresponding to each amplicon is normalized to give a normalized read count. A baseline correction is applied to the normalized read counts for the amplicons to form corrected read counts. A binary segmentation score is calculated for each corrected read count. A predicted breakpoint for the gene fusion is determined based on the amplicon index corresponding to the maximum absolute binary segmentation score. Gene fusion events may be detected in a partner agnostic manner, i.e. without prior knowledge of the specific fusion partner genes or specific breakpoint information.
