TRK-fused gene (TFG) is a gene that encodes a protein that is involved in the normal functioning of the endoplasmic reticulum. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, and in-frame deletions are observed in cancers such as intestinal cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer.

TFG is altered in 0.19% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, breast invasive ductal carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].

The most common alterations in TFG are TFG-MET Fusion (0.08%), TFG-ROS1 Fusion (0.05%), TFG-ALK Fusion (0.07%), TFG-NTRK1 Fusion (0.02%), and TFG-NTRK3 Fusion (0.03%) [3].
