    A BRAF V600E Mutation in RET-Negative Medullary Thyroid Cancer
    Research 2020 : July - September
    Richard J Robbins, Jessica S Thomas, Patricia Mejia Osuna, Jawairia Shakil

    We report the case of a woman with a sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma. Genomic analysis found that her tumor did not\ncontain any common RET mutations but did harbor a BRAF V600E mutation. Only one other well-confirmed example of the\nBRAF V600E mutation has been reported in an MTC patient. We conclude that this common BRAF mutation may independently\ndrive neoplastic transformation of human parafollicular C cells.
