| description | Detection of BRAF V600 variants, including V600E (Val600Glu, c.1799T>A) and V600K (Val600Lys, c.1798_1799delGTinsAA), in cell-free DNA. Using cell-free DNA is alternative to invasive tissue biopsies. The most prevalent mutations are V600E (70−90%) and V600K (5−30%); other mutations are rare. A positive result indicates the presence of an activating BRAF mutation and may be useful for guiding the treatment of individuals with melanoma. | |
| status | ACTIVE | |
Fully-Specified Name | ||
| component | BRAF gene.p.Val600 mutations | |
| property | Prid = Presence or identity: Prid stands for “Presence or identity”, is used for assays that detect whether or not an analyte of a particular kind is present, and if it is, to identify the specific analyte. | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | Plas.cfDNA | |
| scale | Nom = Nominal: Nominal or categorical responses that do not have a natural ordering. (e.g., names of bacteria, reported as answers, categories of appearance that do not have a natural ordering, such as, yellow, clear, bloody. | |
| method | Molgen = Molecular Genetics: General class of methods used to detect genetic attributes on a molecular basis including RFL, PCR and other methods. | |
