BRAF V600 mutation profiling in primary skin nodular melanoma in Indonesia: an analysis using high resolution pyrosequencing

Abstract: Objective: We aimed to investigate the prevalence and type of BRAF V600 mutations and the associations with clinicopathological variables in primary skin nodular melanoma cases in Yogyakarta and Central Java, Indonesia using pyrosequencing. Results: BRAF V600 mutations of the V600E type were found in 21 (53.85%) specimens. The variant allele frequencies (VAFs) ranged from 5.07 to 94.70%, averaging 29.05%. However, most cases had low VAFs, with 13 (61.9%) specimens below 20% and 4 (19.05%) below 10%.

“…Ischemic pathogenesis is not well understood, but some mechanisms include vasospasm, blood flow in the arterial-venous shunt, vascular endothelial cell damage, thrombosis within the microcirculatory vessels, and tissue damage due to ischemia (5). Early ischemia is not significant enough to cause necrosis due to flap lifting.…”
