Background: The activating point mutation v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homology B1 (BRAFV600E), is the most common and specific genetic alteration in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with a prevalence of 29-83% the mutation causes a change in amino acid at position 600 from valine to glutamic acid in the BRAF protein kinase, resulting in aberrant activation of the mitogen- activated protein MAP kinase signaling pathway
