Detection of BRAF V600E Mutations With Next-Generation Sequencing in Infarcted Thyroid Carcinomas After Fine-Needle Aspiration.

Conclusions: We demonstrate detection of hallmark BRAF V600E mutations by NGS within infarcted tissue of thyroid carcinomas after FNA. This suggests a potential ancillary method of characterizing infarcted thyroid carcinomas whose altered histology may be nondiagnostic. PMID: 29868707 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
