MET amplification
Increased MET gene copy number that can appear as a resistance mechanism to EGFR inhibitors.
Parent marker: MET
Not a diagnosis and not final medical advice. Must be reviewed by a doctor.
Clinical meaning
The level of amplification influences the interpretation of the results. In lung cancer, these findings are often discussed along with the history of EGFR inhibitor therapy.
How this finding appears in a report
Checked by FISH or sequencing which reports the number of gene copies.
When therapy stops working
Interpretation depends on the amplification value and the context of previous therapy.
What needs verification
- Complete variant name as written in the laboratory report.
- Examination methods and types of samples used.
- Examination dates were compared with ongoing therapy.
Marker context: MET
MET exon 14 skipping is generally discussed as a group that can be directed to MET inhibitors. MET amplification requires attention to the level of amplification and is often more complex, because it is also related to resistance.
A negative result does not always mean absent
