| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to identify gene alterations can be linked to therapeutic target in pulmonary neuroendocrine tumor using next-generation sequencers. We performed the comprehensive whole exon and RNA sequencing of 25 fresh frozen tissue samples (21 typical carcinoid and 4 atypical carcinoid) using Illumina HiSeq 2000. We found 8 novel fusion transcripts including one derived from chromosomal translocation between the TRIB2 and PRKCE genes. In addition, we identified a total of 139 gene alterations. Interestingly, we also detected mutations in mucin genes (MUC2, MUC4 and MUC6). All the 8 fusion genes and MUC4 gene mutation were obtained from post-operative recurrence of PCs tumor.
