Funded Activity Summary

Mis-repair of broken chromosomes can fuse together genes that then cause cancer. Current clinical tests are only capable of detecting single well-known gene fusions and are incapable of identifying new fusion events or fusion variations. We have developed a diagnostic technology, termed CaptureSeq, that is capable of finding all fusion genes in a patient sample. In this grant, we will demonstrate the use and advantages of CaptureSeq for diagnosing fusion genes in cancer patients.
