Concordance of ALK gene fusion detection using the NanoString technology to the clinical diagnostic routine analysis (external validation cohort I).
| ALK fusion negative using the NanoString assay (n) | ALK fusion positive using the NanoString assay (n) | |
|---|---|---|
| ALK fusion negative in the clinical diagnostic routine (n)* | 36 | 1** |
| ALK fusion positive in the clinical diagnostic routine (n)* | 0 | 2 |
*Methods used include IHC, FISH and/or qPCR.
**FISH negative, IHC positive.
