Abstract excerpt

Giant congenital melanocytic nevi (CMNs) are at an increased risk for malignant transformation. To explore the mutation frequencies of BRAF(V600E) (V-raf murine sarcoma virus oncogene homolog B1) and NRAS (neuroblastoma ras viral oncogene homolog) codon 61 in CMNs of Chinese, we selected 55 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks, including 37 cases of medium CMNs (1.5-20cm) and 18 cases of giant CMNs (>20 cm). Direct...
