BRAF V600E staining in malignant melanoma.

The BRAF V600E mutation, also BRAF V600E, is a common recurrent mutation in the BRAF gene that is seen in many types of tumours and cancer.[1]

The BRAF gene, formally known as v-RAF murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1, is a serine threonine kinase.[2]

The mutation can be demonstrated with molecular testing (ARMS). Also, a mutation specific immunostain (VE1) is available.[1]
