DNA content analysis of colorectal cancer defines a distinct ‘microsatellite and chromosome stable’ group but does not predict response to radiotherapy [PDF]
Colorectal cancers (CRC) are thought to have genetic instability in the form of either microsatellite instability (MSI) or chromosomal instability (CIN).

A multi-center cross-sectional investigation of BRAF V600E mutation in Ameloblastoma [PDF]
Background B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation stands as a pivotal genetic alteration strongly associated with several neoplasms and contributes significantly to their pathogenesis as well as potential targeted treatment ...

CTLA-4 and PD-1 ligand gene expression in epithelial thyroid cancers [PDF]
The dysregulation of PD-1 ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2) and CTLA-4 ligands (CD80 and CD86) represents a tumor strategy to escape the immune surveillance. Here, the expression of PD-L1, PD-L2, CD80 and CD86 was evaluated at mRNA level in 94 patients affected ...

Patient-derived iPSCs show premature neural differentiation and neuron type-specific phenotypes relevant to neurodevelopment. [PDF]
Ras/MAPK pathway signaling is a major participant in neurodevelopment, and evidence suggests that BRAF, a key Ras signal mediator, influences human behavior.

Activating mutations in BRAF kinase are common in melanomas. Clinical trials with PLX4032, the mutant-BRAF inhibitor, show promising preliminary results in patients selected for the presence of V600E mutation.

Proper indication of BRAF(V600E) mutation testing in fine-needle aspirates of thyroid nodules.
BackgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate the proper indication of adjunctive BRAF(V600E) mutation analysis at the time of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules.MethodsThis study included 518 nodules in 479 ...

BRAF V600E mutation in thyroid carcinoma: a large-scale study in Han Chinese population
Background The prevalence of genetic mutations in thyroid cancer varies significantly among different ethnic backgrounds. The present study aimed to investigate the clinical potential of BRAF V600E in a large group of homogenous Han Chinese patients ...
