Papillary thyroid carcinomas with and without BRAF V600E mutations are morphologically distinct

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: The BRAF V600E mutation resulting in the production of an abnormal BRAF protein has emerged as the most frequent genetic alteration in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). This study was aimed at identifying distinctive features in tumours with and without the mutation.
