Clinicopathologic correlations of the BRAFV600E mutation, BRAF V600E immunohistochemistry, and BRAF RNA in situ hybridization in papillary thyroid carcinoma

Our results showed that positive BRAF V600E IHC significantly correlated with the BRAFV600E mutation. This suggests its clinical utility as a screening tool for the BRAFV600E mutation. In addition, a high BRAF RNA ISH score could be a candidate marker of aggressive behavior in BRAFV600E mutation-positive cases of PTC.
