Updates to Article Attributes

Body was changed:

The ROS 1 mutation is a mutation occurring in the ROS 1 oncogene in chromosome 6 resulting in a defective a receptor tyrosine kinase which has structural similarity to the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) protein.

It is thought be present in several cancers inclusive non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) occur in 1(1-2 % of the latter NSCLC).

Clinical imporantance

Useful for assessing appropriateness of treatment agents such as Crizotinib

History and etymology

It is thought to have been first identified by Rikova et al 3
