Abstract excerpt
AIM: Primary melanocytic tumours are uncommon neoplasms of the central nervous system. Although similarities with uveal melanomas have been hypothesized, data on their molecular features are limited. METHODS: In this study, we investigated the mutational status of BRAF(V600E) , KIT, GNAQ, GNA11, N-RAS and H-RAS in a series of 19 primary melanocytic tumours of the central nervous system (CNS). RESULTS: We...
