  • Patent number: 8580497
    Abstract: The invention relates to mutations in B-Raf gene products. The mutations described are identified in human tumors of natural origin. These mutations are associated with cancerous phenotypes and can be used as a basis for the diagnosis of cancer, cancerous cells or a predisposition to cancer in human subjects, and the development of anti-cancer therapeutics.
