BRAF and acral lentiginous melanoma: Overall, the frequency of RAS, BRAF or neurofibromin 1 (NF1) mutations resulting in the activation of the MAPK pathway seems to be lower in ALM than in other subtypes of melanoma (Hayward et al., 2017; Vazquez et al., 2015; Yun et al., 2011), and other drivers such as KIT, PAK1 and SPRED1 may be more important (Curtin et al., 2006; Liang et al., 2017; Yeh et al., 2019) (Figure 3).
