BRAFV600E mutations in malignant melanoma are associated with increased expressions of BAALC
UNLABELLED BACHGROUND: Activating BRAF mutations are present in approximately 50% of melanomas. Although different downstream target genes of the most common mutant V600E have been identified, the contribution of activating BRAF mutations to malignant transformation needs further clarification. METHODS Microarray gene analysis was performed for human melanoma cell lines harboring BRAFV600E mu...
متن کاملMutations in Melanoma Are Associated with Sensitivity to MEK Inhibitors
ABSTRACT Kinase inhibitors are accepted treatment for metastatic melanomas that harbor specifi c driver mutations in BRAF or KIT, but only 40% to 50% of cases are positive. To uncover other potential targetable mutations, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of a highly aggressive BRAF (V600) and KIT (W557, V559, L576, K642, and D816) wild-type melanoma. Surprisingly, we found a somatic BRAF L5...
متن کاملSF3B1 mutations are associated with alternative splicing in uveal melanoma.
UNLABELLED Uveal melanoma, the most common eye malignancy, causes severe visual morbidity and is fatal in approximately 50% of patients. Primary uveal melanoma can be cured by surgery or radiotherapy, but the metastatic disease is treatment refractory. To understand comprehensively uveal melanoma genetics, we conducted single-nucleotide polymorphism arrays and whole-genome sequencing on 12 prim...
متن کاملMeningeal melanomas associated with transforming Ota nevus to malignant melanoma: a case report
Absract Intracranial invasion of cellular blue nevus (CBN) from the skin is extremely rare and such a condition with malignant transformation is even rarer. A case of meningeal melanoma with malignant transformation which was derived from an Ota nevus is presented in this report. A21-year-old man with a neurocutaneous syndrome since childhood was referred with headache and mild le...
متن کاملZOSTERIFORM METASTASES IN A MAN WITH MALIGNANT MELANOMA
Zosteriform metastasis is a rare clinical distribution from spreading neoplasms of every organ to the skin. Tumors most often arise from a n internal o r hematologic malignancy. W e report a 69-year-old man, a known case of malignant melanoma of the left heel. In this case, multiple red-brown metastatic nodules appeared four months after diagnosis. Distribution of metastatic lesions resemb...
