A screen for BRAF gene fusions in 20,573 solid tumors, using the FoundationOneTM targeted gene panel, identified BRAF fusions involving 29 unique 5′ fusion partners in 55 (0.3 %) cases across 12 different tumor types, including 3 % (14/531) of melanomas, 2 % (15/701) of gliomas, 1.0 % (3/294) of thyroid cancers, 0.3 % (3/1,062) of pancreatic carcinomas, 0.2 % (8/4,013) of non-small cell lung cancers and 0.2 % (4/2,154) of colorectal cancers, as well as single cases of head and neck cancer, prostate cancer, rectal adenocarcinoma, ovarian, uterine endometrial, and mesothelioma [70]. Here, BRAF is linked to neoplasm.
