Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRAF mutation V600E (substitution Val600Glu) is a molecular signature for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Testing for BRAF mutation is clinically useful in providing prognostic prediction and facilitating accurate diagnosis of PTC in thyroid fine-needle aspirate (FNA) samples. METHODS: This study assessed the correlation of cellularity with DNA yield and compared 2 technical platforms with...
