Abstract excerpt
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved MAPK inhibitors as a treatment for melanoma patients carrying a mutation in codon V600 of the BRAF gene exclusively. However, BRAF mutations outside the V600 codon may occur in a small percentage of melanomas. Although these rare variants may cause B-RAF activation, their predictive response to B-RAF inhibitor treatments is still poorly understood. We exploited...
