Clinical relevance and druggability of sole reciprocal kinase fusions: A large‐scale study by Jiao Feng, Tonghui Ma, Chunyang Wang, Baoming Wang, Qian Liu, Zhengchuang Liu, Houquan Tao, Zaiyuan Ye

“…Abstract Background Building on our prior work that RNA alternative splicing modulates the druggability of kinase fusions, this study probes the clinical significance of sole reciprocal fusions. These rare genomic arrangements, despite lacking kinase domains at the DNA level, demonstrated potential RNA‐level druggability in sporadic cases from our prior research. …”
