Gene BRAF
Variant K601N
Impact List missense
Protein Effect gain of function
Gene Variant Descriptions BRAF K601N lies within the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (UniProt.org). K601N confers a gain of function on Braf, as indicated by increased phosphorylation of MEK and ERK in cell in culture (PMID: 24434212) and induction of cell proliferation and cell viability in culture (PMID: 29533785).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

BRAF K601N hematologic cancer sensitive LY3009120 Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, a hematological tumor cell line harboring BRAF K601N demonstrated sensitivity to LY3009120 in culture (PMID: 26732095). 26732095
BRAF K601N lung non-small cell carcinoma no benefit Vemurafenib Case Reports/Case Series Actionable In a Phase II trial, Zelboraf (vemurafenib) treatment did not result in response in the cohort of 15 non-small cell lung cancer patients with non-V600 BRAF mutations, which included 2 patients harboring BRAF K601N, and enrollment in this cohort was discontinued (PMID: 31959346; NCT02304809). 31959346
BRAF K601N chronic lymphocytic leukemia sensitive PLX8394 Preclinical - Cell culture Actionable In a preclinical study, PLX8394 treatment inhibited Erk signaling and reduced proliferation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells harboring BRAF K601N in culture (PMID: 30559419). 30559419
BRAF K601N lung non-small cell carcinoma predicted - sensitive LTT462 + LXH 254 Case Reports/Case Series Actionable In a Phase Ib trial, LTT462 and LXH 254 combination therapy was well tolerated and resulted in an unconfirmed partial response (PR) in 4% (2/49) and stable disease (SD) in 33% (16/49) of patients with advanced or metastatic KRAS- or BRAF-mutant non-small cell lung cancer, with 1 patient harboring BRAF K601N achieving an unconfirmed PR (Ann Oncol 31 (suppl 4):S881-S882; NCT02974725). detail...
