Identification of Novel Variant of EML4-ALK Fusion Gene in NSCLC: Potential Benefits of the RT-PCR Method..     ///    Here we present a novel variant of the EML4-ALK fusion gene which we named variant 3c.     ///    "RNA extracted from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) specimens from patients with advanced and metastatic NSCLC was amplified, using primers and probes designed to detect specific EML4-ALK fusion gene fragments. "    ///    "Compared to FISH technology, RT-PCR enables the detection of different isoforms of the EML4-ALK transforming gene, which can be validated by sequencing. "    ///    "However, the clinical implications of the 15 different variants of the EML4-ALK transforming gene described so far are currently not defined. "
