<p>Disclosed is a method which enables the easy and swift detection of the presence of any fusion gene including unknown fusion genes. The method for detecting a fusion gene is performed on a sample separated from a living body and involves measuring the expression of one of the genes constituting the fusion gene, that can be present in the living body, in the 5' region which is upstream of the fusion point of the gene and the 3' region which is downstream thereof and comparing the expression in the 5' region with the expression in the 3' region. The fusion gene to be detected includes a fusion gene between an ALK gene and another gene.</p> |
