    Glossary BRAF Mutation

    mutation in the BRAF gene affects cell growth and division

    A BRAF mutation refers to a change in the BRAF gene, which plays a crucial role in cell growth and division. This mutation can lead to uncontrolled cell proliferation and is often associated with various cancers, including melanoma, colorectal cancer, and thyroid cancer. The most common BRAF mutation is V600E, where valine (V) is replaced by glutamic acid (E) at position 600 in the protein. This mutation can be a target for specific cancer therapies, making it a significant focus in oncology.
