Abstract excerpt
Pilocytic astrocytoma (PA) is the most common glioma subtype found in children, and it is a non-malignant tumor type. The majority of PAs is caused by an approximately 2 Mb tandem duplication within 7q34 which creates an in-frame KIAA1549-BRAF fusion gene. The kinase domain of BRAF is fused to the N-terminal of KIAA1549, whereby BRAF is constitutively activated. We here present a novel approach for identifying...
