Profiling of gene fusion involving targetable genes in Chinese gastric cancer

Table 1 Clinical characteristics in targetable gene fusion-positive and -negative patients

Variables	Total, n	Fusion involving targetable genes		P value
		Positive, n (%)	Negative, n (%)
Sex				0.293
Female	310	3 (0.97)	307 (99.03)
Male	644	13 (2.02)	631 (97.98)
Age, yr				0.463
≤ 60	451	6 (1.56)	445 (98.44)
> 60	503	10 (1.98)	493 (98.01)
MSI status				0.551
MSI-H	46	1 (2.17)	45 (97.93)
MSS	908	15 (1.65)	893 (98.35)
TMB				0.217
Median TMB score	2.92	5.63	2.83

Age, sex, microsatellite instability status, and tumor mutational burden between fusion-positive and -negative patients were compared. The one-tailed P value for Fisher’s exact test was calculated. MSI-H: Microsatellite instability-high; MSS: Microsatellite stability; TMB: Tumor mutational burden.
