BRAF oncogenic kinase has become a target for specific therapy in oncology. Genetic characterization of a predominant V600E mutation in melanoma, thyroid cancer, and other tumors became a focus for developing specific inhibitors, such as vemurafenib or dabrafenib. Our knowledge regarding the role of mutated BRAF in hematological malignancies has grown quickly as a result of new genetic techniques such as next-generation sequencing. This review summarizes current knowledge regarding the role of BRAF in lymphoid and myeloid neoplasms, with a focus on hairy-cell leukemia, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and Erdheim-Chester disease.
BRAF致癌激酶已成为肿瘤学中特异性治疗的靶点。黑色素瘤、甲状腺癌及其他肿瘤中主要的V600E突变的基因特征成为开发特异性抑制剂(如维莫非尼或达拉非尼)的重点。由于新一代测序等新基因技术,我们对突变型BRAF在血液系统恶性肿瘤中的作用的认识迅速增加。本综述总结了目前关于BRAF在淋巴和髓系肿瘤中的作用的知识,重点关注毛细胞白血病、朗格汉斯细胞组织细胞增多症和 Erdheim-Chester病。
