Abstract excerpt
We recently reported an RAF rearrangement without NRAS or BRAF mutations in lesions from Giant Congenital Melanocytic Nevi (CMN). The new gene fusion involves the 5'-end of the promoter-containing N terminus of the SOX5 gene fused to exons 7-16 of the 3'-end of RAF1 gene leading to a SOX5-RAF1 fusion transcript which loses the auto-inhibitory CR1 domain but retains the complete in-frame coding sequence for the...
