The BRAF gene is mutated in approximately 8% of human tumors, mostly melanoma, colorectal and thyroid cancers.
The BRAF StripAssay® rapidly identifies the most relevant mutation in the BRAF gene.

BRAF Mutations
BRAF encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase which plays a role in signalling pathways involved in cell proliferation and differentiation.
Some BRAF mutations significantly increase the BRAF gene product leading to neoplastic growth.
Identification of BRAF genetic variants is thus the key to the best therapy for melanoma and thyroid cancer.
