Figure 2.
Activating mutations in ALK: COSMIC (tumor only) frequencies of ALK mutations with published literature on functional and/or therapeutic significance. mRNA sequence depicts full reference sequence of ALK (NM_004304) with exon numbers marked. ALK protein sequence (0–1620 amino acids) shows different functional domains (MAM1, LDL, MAM2, Gly-rich, and kinase domain) with starting and ending amino acid numbers (UniProt). COSMIC frequency units (black circles and numbers in parentheses) refer to the number of tumor samples with a particular single-nucleotide variant (SNV) found in COSMIC. The SNVs without the black circles are referenced in literature that is not recorded in COSMIC.
