Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: TERT promoter mutations increase telomerase activity, conferring cell immortality. The coexistence of TERT promoter mutations with BRAFV600E is associated with aggressiveness. Ameloblastoma and ameloblastic carcinoma are infiltrative neoplasms that harbor BRAFV600E; however, it remains unknown if these odontogenic tumors also show TERT promoter mutations. METHODS: Genomic DNA of paraffin-embedded...
