Introduction: Activating somatic mutation of the BRAF gene (V600E) has been identified as the most common genetic event in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with a variable frequency (32–87%) in various races by different methods.In this study, we report the genetic analysis of BRAF mutation in a Korean cohort of 211 PTC by peptide nucleic acid clamp real-time PCR.Methods: PNA clamp real-time PCR was applied for BRAF analysis ...
