Résumé

MET exon 14 splice site (METex14) mutations were recently described in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) and reported to correlate with efficacy of MET tyrosine kinase inhibitors. High diversity of these alterations make them hard to detect by DNA sequencing in clinical practice. Because METex14 mutations induce increased stabilization of the MET receptor, it is anticipated that these mutations are associated with MET overexpression. We aim to determine whether NSCLC with high MET overexpression could define a subset of patients with a high rate of METex14 mutations.
