Abstract excerpt
BRAF V600E mutation in serrated lesions of the colon has been implicated as an important mutation and as a specific marker for the serrated carcinogenic pathway. Recent findings point to microvesicular hyperplastic polyps that have similar histologic and molecular features to sessile serrated adenomas/polyps, as potential colorectal carcinoma precursors. The aim of this study was to evaluate BRAF V600E mutation...
