Somatic mutations in BRAF have been found in 1-4% of all NSCLC most of which are adenocarcinomas and may be a potential therapeutic target in some settings. The BRAF V590I variant lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein, has not been biochemically characterized, but results in similar cell proliferation and viability levels to wild-type Braf in culture (PMID: 29533785), and therefore is predicted to have no effect on Braf protein function, but its oncogenic potential has not been characterized. Clinical correlation is recommended.
