Abstract Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) epitomizes the success of cancer prevention by the development of conventional therapy, but huge challenges remain in the therapy of advanced diseases.Case presentation: We reported two cases of novel BRAF gene fusion. The first case was a 34-year-old female with RMS harboring a BRAF-MAD1L1 fusion. She suffered tumor resection, recurrence and rapid progression. The second case was a 72-year-old female with LADC harboring a BRAF-ZC3H7A fusion, and she gained rapid progression after receiving a first-line course of chemotherapy.Conclusions: These two BRAF fusions retain the intact BRAF kinase domain (exon 11-18) and showed poor prognosis in RMS and LADC.

Background: Development of different molecular markers has given a new insight in the glioma management. KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion has a diagnostic and prognostic significance. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion in glioma and their correlation with various clinical parameters. Material and Methods: Forty cases of glioma were studied for KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). Results: Overall, KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion was found in 22% (9/40) cases of glioma. Children had higher KIAA1549-BRAF fusion (72%; 8/11) as compared to adults (10%; 3/29) and this difference was statistically significant. Cerebellar location of tumor was significantly associated with KIAA1549-BRAF fusion. KIAA1549-BRAF fusion was highest in pilocytic astrocytoma (89%), and this difference was statistically significant. Statistically significant difference was noted between KIAA1549-BRAF fusion expression and WHO grade I glioma. Conclusion: Overall, KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion was found in 22% (9/40) cases of glioma. Childhood age, pilocytic astrocytoma histology, cerebellar location and WHO grade I tumor were significantly associated with KIAA1549-BRAF gene fusion.
