Abstract Gene editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9 can be used to create isogenic cell lines, which can be further used to model a specific patient population for identifying novel, personalized treatment regimens. An isogenic cell line was created to model cancer patients with the echinoderm microtubule- associated protein-like 4 (EML4)-anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion oncogene, a key oncogenic driver, and then tested for its sensitivity to known selective inhibitors of ALK.
