Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Metanephric adenomas (MAs) are conventionally regarded as rare renal tumours with indolent behaviour; limited case reports have described MAs with aggressive features. Conventional MAs harbour hotspot BRAF V600E mutations. A BRAF V600E senescence pathway, mediated by cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A)/p16, has been proposed to confer MA benignity. Aside from BRAF, the molecular landscape in both...
