| Protein Effect | unknown |
| Gene Variant Descriptions | BRAF V600Q (previously reported as V599Q) lies within the activation segment and the protein kinase domain of the Braf protein (PMID: 15035987). V600Q has been identified in the scientific literature (PMID: 28848703), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Braf protein function is unknown (PubMed, Oct 2020). |
