Objectives: Effective patient management is about finding a balance between overtreatment and undertreatment. Finding the border is very difficult due to the hardly predictable development of carcinoma. Molecular markers and their testing could help distinguish between low-grade and high- grade carcinomas. One of these molecular markers is a BRAF fusion gene. The aim of this study was to identify BRAF fusion genes in thyroid carcinomas, to correlate them with...

Objectives: The substitution BRAF p.V600E is the most common genetic cause of the papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and represents more than 95% genetic variants in BRAF gene. Other rare variants in the BRAF gene include other substitutions (e.g. p.K601E), small deletions or insertions close to codon 600. The aim of this study was to analyze a large cohort of thyroid nodules for rare genetic variants in the BRAF gene.M...
