BRAF and non-Hodgkin lymphoma: As there have been no data on the BRAF mutation in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), we analysed the genomic DNAs from 164 NHLs by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) for the detection of somatic mutations of BRAF (exons 11 and 15).
