lung carcinomas (NSCLCs). Their reliable detection requires next-generation sequencing
(NGS), while conventional methods, such as immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in
situ hybridization (FISH) or variant-specific PCR, have significant limitations. We developed
an assay that compares the level of RNA transcripts corresponding to 5′-and 3′-end
portions of the RET gene; this test relies on the fact that RET translocations result in the …
