## Abstract A majority of malignant melanomas harbor an oncogenic mutation in either __BRAF__ or __NRAS__. If __BRAF__ and __NRAS__ transform melanoma cells by a similar mechanism, then additional genetic aberrations would be similar (or random). Alternatively, distinct mutation‐associated changes
BRAF alterations are associated with complex mutational profiles in malignant melanoma

## Abstract Copy number alterations of the epidermal growth factor receptor (__EGFR__) gene have been extensively analyzed in different cancers, but no data are available for primary malignant melanoma. The aim of the present study was to simultaneously investigate the __EGFR__ gene and chromosome
## Abstract Activating mutations of __BRAF__ have been frequently observed in microsatellite unstable (MSI^+^) colorectal carcinomas (CRCs), in which mutations of __BRAF__ and __KRAS__ are mutually exclusive. Previously, we reported that hypermethylation of __hMLH1__ might play an important role in
