Cooperative interactions of BRAF <sup>V600E</sup> kinase and <i>CDKN2A</i> locus deficiency in pediatric malignant astrocytoma as a basis for rational therapy
14 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Although malignant astrocytomas are a leading cause of cancer-related death in children, rational therapeutic strategies are lacking. We previously identified activating mutations of v-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) (BRAF(T1799A) encoding BRAF(V600E)) in association with homozygous cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A, encoding p14ARF and p16Ink4a) deletions in pediatric infiltrative...
