The present study was carried out to detect the prevalence of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) as well as to evaluate the clinical characteristics of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC.
There are likely unknown genetic modifiers and/or environmental factors which trigger this phenotype. Individuals who are compound heterozygotes for deltaF508 do have better lung function than homozygotes. And even for some mutations, the severity of lung disease is modified by other mutations WITHIN the CFTR gene.
