# with other drivers present | 1 (EGFR L858R) | 1 (MET amplification) | 0 | 0 |
ALK FISH/IHC status | ALK+ FISHa ALK+ IHCb ALK FISH negative (n=2)c, d Not performed or unknown (n=2) | NE | ALK FISH negativea ALK+ FISHeNot performed or unknown | NE |
ALK rearrangement status on RNA | EML4-ALK (n=2) Not performed or unknown (n=4) | NE | NE* | NE |
Notes: a: FISH testing performed by NeoGenomics; b: IHC testing performed by Genepath, clone ALKO1; c: FISH testing performed by Genepath; d: FISH testing performed by Integrated Oncology; e: FISH testing performed by Response Genetics. *For 3/3 non-NSCLC cases with ALK internal deletions in DNA RNA testing showed only an ALK deletion and did not detect the presence of an ALK fusion.
