The association between BRAF mutation class and clinical features in BRAF-mutant Chinese non-small cell lung cancer patients

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: BRAF mutations occur in 2-4% non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and can be categorized into three functional classes based on signaling mechanism and kinase activity: RAS-independent kinase-activating V600 monomers (class 1), RAS-independent kinase-activating dimers (class 2) and RAS-dependent kinase-inactivating heterodimers (class 3). The association between functional classes and clinical...
