BRAF-V600E IHC
Wednesday 25 February 2015
IHC for BRAF V600E is relatively sensitive and specific, but there is a discordance rate that is not trivial with NGS mutation profiling. In addition, a significant proportion of patients harbor BRAF non-V600E not detectable by IHC, potentially limiting utility of IHC screening for BRAF mutations. (25634750)
