BRAF and glioblastoma: Given that BRAF/PTPN11 mutations induce signaling of the MAPK pathway, to develop a means of identifying responder patients who do not necessarily have MAPK activating mutations, through immunohistochemistry, we investigated the abundance of the phosphorylated/activated downstream effector ERK1/2 of the MAPK pathway (p-ERK) in recurrent GBM samples.
