## Abstract Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal form of skin cancer. Along with some benign melanocytic tumors, the majority shows __BRAF__ or __NRAS__ mutation, but it is not known whether these are essential to all forms of melanocytic neoplasia. We screened 79 melanocytic tumors of differ
## Abstract We studied gene expression in 18 melanocytic nevi with and four nevi without the V600E mutation in the __BRAF__ gene using HGβU133A 2.0 microarray with 22,277 transcripts. Data analysis revealed 92 genes upβregulated and 105 genes downβregulated in nevi with the mutation compared to nev
## Abstract Mutational analysis of __KRAS__ codons 12 and 13 is standard for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer since mutations in these codons predict lack of response to antiβEGFR therapies. However, even among patients whose tumors are wildtype for __KRAS__ codons 12 and 13, only a subse
