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