The presence of driver mutations only in a subset of tumor cells within a single lesion, defined as subclonality, is being appreciated as a clinically significant factor. BRAF mutation is the most common driver mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). There are conflicting data in the literature regarding the presence of BRAF mutation subclonality in PTC and its clinical significance.
