False-negative BRAF V600E mutation results on fine-needle aspiration cytology of papillary thyroid carcinoma

Abstract Background The BRAF V600E mutation is highly specific for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). A test for this mutation can increase the diagnostic accuracy of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC), but a considerably high false-negative rate for the BRAF V600E mutation on FNAC has been repo...
