Preferred Label : EML4/ALK Fusion Gene;

NCIt synonyms : ALK/EML4 Fusion Gene; EML4-ALK Fusion Gene; Transforming Fusion Gene EML4-ALK; EML4/ALK Gene Rearrangement; EML4-ALK Inversion; EML4-ALK Gene Rearrangement; EML4/ALK Inversion; EML-4 ALK Translocation; EML-ALK Translocation; EML4-ALK Translocation; EML4/ALK Translocation; EML4/ALK Gene Mutation; EML4/ALK Mutation; EML4::ALK Fusion Gene;

NCIt definition : A fusion gene that results from a chromosomal inversion inv(2)(p21p23) which fuses the 5' portion of the EML4 gene with exons 20-29 of the ALK gene. This fusion is associated with non-small cell lung cancer. Multiple transcript variants are possible based on the breakpoint for the EML4 gene.;
