| Abstract | The oncogenic BRAF V600E mutation in patients with Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) has recently been reported. However, the reported frequencies were significantly inconsistent and were based on studies of populations of western ethnic origin. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of BRAF V600E mutation in a cohort of Chinese LCH patients and to determine its association with clinicopathological characteristics. Blocks were retrieved from 52 LCH patients and 12 samples were obtained from blood or bone marrow. These were tested for BRAF V600E by directly sequencing the entire exon 15 of the BRAF gene. To demonstrate the relationship between BRAF V600E and invasiveness of LCH, the single or multiple systems classification was used. BRAF V600E was the only genetic abnormality within exon 15 of the BRAF gene in patients with LCH. Its incidence was 56%, similar to that reported in a United States study, but higher than that reported in German studies. Additionally, the frequencies were similar between patients with single system diseases and those with multiple system diseases. Results of this study showed that BRAF V600E was present in a large number of the Chinese LCH patients, confirming the neoplastic nature of LCH. The frequency was similar to that of the USA study but distinctly higher than that from the Europe studies. No additional mutation were identified besides BRAF V600E. This mutation did not closely correlate with clinical severity or classification. The finding of BRAF V600E in LCH has important implications for both molecular diagnosis and targeted personalized therapy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
