melanoma
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The protein kinase B-RAF is a human oncogene that is mutated in approximately 70% of human melanomas and transforms mouse melanocytes. 16129781 2005
CUI: C0025202
Disease: melanoma
melanoma
0.500 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Specific mutations of RAF kinases, such as the prevalent BRAF(V600E) mutation in melanoma, or defects in upstream signaling or feedback loops cause decoupled kinase activities which lead to tumorigenesis. 28466200 2019
CUI: C0025202
