Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a means which enables simple and rapid detection of the presence of any fusion genes including even unknown fusion genes. The method for measuring a fusion gene(s) according to the present invention is applied to a sample separated from a living body, and comprises: measuring expressions of a 5′-region and a 3′-region of one of the component genes of the fusion gene(s) which may be present in the living body, wherein said 5′-region is upstream of and said 3′-region is downstream of a fusion point in said one of the component genes; and comparing the expression of the 5′-region with the expression of the 3′-region. The fusion gene to be measured is e.g. a fusion gene between ALK gene and another gene.
