Cancer should be classified by genetic and molecular types, say scientists
Just wondering what the proposal in this article would mean for melanoma? Other than BRAF and CKit, what would the types be?
If anyone knows something I could read to find out, please let me know.
Thanks –
Hazel

Hi Hazel,
My husband had the 50-Gene Somatic Mutation Analysis Panel done on his tumor. If you remember, he has a similar case where they can't rule out metastatic melanoma since there is no intraepidermal component (some have said primary dermal melanoma but our oncologist at MD Anderson won't say that). He had 19 mm melanoma removed from back but scans to date have shown NED and he is not doing any treatments. He was found to have NRAS mutation in his. Here is an image from the genetic mutation test from MD Anderson. Looks like BRAF, KIT, and NRAS are what they look for in Melanoma (I beleive NRAS is found less frequently than BRAF):

I have been trying for a long time to get an answer to this. Wild type mutations make up about 28% of the mutations. Among that 28%, are the wild types a singular muations, or are they a combination of "none of the above"?
Can anyone clarify this.
Thanks.

I believe wild tyoe means the gene most commonly in the population, i.e. the unmutayed version. That would mean the unmutated v600 braf gene is wild type for that gene.whereas for NRAS G12a my tumors' versions of that gene have been mutated, so they are not wild type for nras g12.that could be right or wrong! -
