BRAF Mutations in Canine Cancers. [PDF]
Activating mutations of the BRAF gene lead to constitutive activation of the MAPK pathway. Although many human cancers carry the mutated BRAF gene, this mutation has not yet been characterized in canine cancers.

BRAF Mutations in Hairy-Cell Leukemia [PDF]
Hairy-cell leukemia (HCL) is a well-defined clinicopathological entity whose underlying genetic lesion is still obscure.We searched for HCL-associated mutations by performing massively parallel sequencing of the whole exome of leukemic and matched normal cells purified from the peripheral blood of an index patient with HCL.

Clinical prognosis in BRAF-mutated PTC [PDF]
BRAF mutation has recently emerged as a potential prognostic marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) due to several studies suggesting that it may condition the development of tumors with aggressive behavior. A study of the phenotypes of thyroid follicular cell lines and transgenic mice characterized by targeted expression of BRAF mutation ...

Frequency and significance of Ras, Tert promoter, and Braf mutations in cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules: A monocentric case series at a tertiary-level Endocrinology unit [PDF]
PurposeThe management of thyroid nodules of indeterminate cytology is controversial. Our study aimed to establish the frequency and significance of H-,K-,N-RAS, TERT promoter, and BRAF gene mutations in thyroid nodes of indeterminate cytology and to ...

BRAFV600E mutation positive metastatic melanoma in a young woman treated with anti-BRAF/anti MEK combination: a case report [PDF]
The recent Combi-v [1] and Combi-d [2,3], phase III randomized trials, showed, respectively, an OS benefit with Dabrafenib/Trametinib combination versus Vemurafenib and an improvement in PFS and ORR with the same combination versus Dabrafenib alone ...

Identification of a novel BRAF Thr599dup mutation in lung adenocarcinoma
BRAF mutations are known as oncogenic drivers of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). BRAF inhibition has demonstrated anti-tumor activity in patients with BRAF V600E mutant NSCLC. Further molecular screening for novel BRAF thr599dup mutation is warranted.

Clinicopathological relevance of BRAF and SMO mutations in Chinese patients with ameloblastoma
Ameloblastomas are benign tumors associated with recurrence and morbidity. Mutations in the V-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) and smoothened (SMO) genes have been identified in ameloblastomas.
