BRAF V600E Oncogene Mutation

Predictive biomarker for patient selection in 9 indications

Understanding BRAF V600E mutation

What it means: V600E is the most common BRAF mutation, where valine is replaced by glutamic acid at position 600, causing pathway hyperactivation.
Why it matters: V600E is the primary target for BRAF inhibitors. V600K and other V600 mutations also respond to these drugs.
Testing: Tested via NGS, PCR-based assays, or V600E-specific IHC. Found in melanoma, colorectal, thyroid, and lung cancers.
