Approximately 40% of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) harbor the BRAF V600E mutation, which is significantly associated with the advanced clinicopathological features of PTC at diagnosis, a higher recurrence rate, and disease-related mortality. BRAF alterations other than V600E are less common in PTC, and their clinical significance remains to be established.
