Abstract excerpt
BRAF is a cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase in the MAPK pathway that transduces signals from RAS family members to MEK1/2. Mutations in the BRAF gene have been described in the majority of cutaneous melanomas, papillary thyroid carcinoma and to a lesser extent in other cancers. The predominant mutation reported is a single transversion in exon 15 (T1799A). We designed a real-time allele-specific PCR to detect...
