1. A method of treating a subject having cancer, comprising:
acquiring knowledge of the presence, in the subject, of an LMNA-NTRK1 fusion polypeptide, or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the LMNA-NTRK1 fusion polypeptide, wherein:
(i) the LMNA-NTRK1 fusion polypeptide comprises encoded exons 1-5 of SEQ ID NO: 20 and encoded exons 12-17 of SEQ ID NO:22, and a fusion junction comprising encoded exon 5 of SEQ ID NO:20 directly fused to encoded exon 12 of SEQ ID NO:22, or
(ii) the nucleic acid molecule encoding the LMNA-NTRK1 fusion polypeptide comprises exons 1-5 of SEQ ID NO:19 and exons 12-17 of SEQ ID NO:21, and a fusion junction comprising exon 5 of SEQ ID NO:19 directly fused to exon 12 of SEQ ID NO:21; and
administering to the subject an effective amount of a kinase inhibitor,
wherein the cancer is non-Langerhans histiocytosis.
