B-RAF exon 15 sequencing (V600E) near me in Mumbai

The B-RAF exon 15 sequencing (V600E) is a genetic test that looks for a specific change (called the V600E mutation) in the BRAF gene. This gene is involved in a pathway that helps control how cells grow and divide. When the V600E mutation is present, it can cause the cells to grow abnormally, which may lead to cancer. In this test, DNA is taken from a tumor tissue sample and a specific part of the BRAF gene (exon 15) is closely studied using a method called DNA sequencing. The test checks for the V600E mutation, which is a known cancer-causing (pathogenic) mutation. This mutation is known to be linked to several cancers, such as hairy cell leukemia, melanoma, thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, and some rare diseases like Langerhans cell histiocytosis and Erdheim-Chester disease. The results of this test provide important information about genetic changes in the tumor, which can help guide further medical evaluation and treatment planning.

Note: One representative block of the tumor is required. However, 1-4 representative blocks of tumors are acceptable.
