Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) samples from thyroid tumor tissues were analyzed for the presence of the BRAF(T1796A) mutation by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. This assay utilized a specific mismatched primer and has proved to be a relatively simple, accurate, and highly sensitive method. The analysis of 130 aspirated samples from thyroid tumors (18...
