Etiology of oncogenic fusions in 5,190 childhood cancers and its clinical and therapeutic implication

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The authors discover neo splice sites in 18 oncogenic fusion gene pairs and demonstrate that such splice sites confer therapeutic vulnerability for etiology-based genome editing. Successes in targeted inhibition of oncogenic fusions (e_g, imatinib for BCR-ABL111) have inspired the notion of "oncogene addiction"12 that posits the therapeutic potential of targeting oncogenic fusions. Percent patient tumors with oncogenic fusion detected are indicated with gray rings. b-d Spectrum of neosplicing (b), neo-translational (c) and chimeric exon (d) fusions. e-g Spectrum of canonical fusions in leukemia (e), brain tumor (f) and . . .
