Description
A patient with BRAF-mutant melanoma relapsed after treatment with PLX4032 (vemurafenib). The MAP2K1 C121S mutation was identified as a relapse-specific variant and was undetectable in the pre-treatment tumor. In vitro experiments showed that the C121S mutation increased kinase activity and conferred resistance to PLX4032.
