Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Recently, BRAF V600E mutation, and activation of mTOR and MAPK pathways have been identified in various glial/glioneuronal tumors. Dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNTs) are epilepsy-associated glioneuronal neoplasms which have not been analyzed extensively in this respect. METHODS: Sequencing for BRAF V600E mutation, analysis of BRAF copy number by qRT-PCR, and immunohistochemistry for mTOR...
