Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in detecting BRAF mutations in melanocytic neoplasms in an Egyptian population, comparing it to a molecular technique called CAST-PCR.
- Results show that using the staining pattern of IHC significantly improved the test's specificity and diagnostic accuracy, although it did not change the sensitivity.
- The conclusion emphasizes that while IHC may provide better predictions for BRAF mutation status, it should not replace molecular testing methods entirely.
