Abstract
We identified novel gene fusions in patients with lung cancer harboring the kinase domain of the NTRK1 gene that encodes the TRKA receptor. Both the MPRIP-NTRK1 and CD74-NTRK1 fusions lead to constitutive TRKA kinase activity and are oncogenic. Treatment of cells expressing NTRK1 fusions with inhibitors of TRKA kinase activity inhibited autophosphorylation of TRKA and cell growth. Three of 91 lung cancer patients (3.3%), without known oncogenic alterations, assayed by NGS or FISH demonstrated evidence of NTRK1 gene fusions.
