Notes
~5-10% of BRAF-mutant tumors overall (NSCLC, melanoma, CRC) are non-V600; proportion higher in lung adeno where Class II / Class III combined approach the V600 cohort. Distinct from V600 in BOTH biology and therapy. Class II (G469A, K601E, L597) — RAF dimer formation drives signalling; monomer-selective BRAF inhibitors fail; MEK inhibitor (trametinib / binimetinib) monotherapy may show partial activity; pan-RAF dimer inhibitors (e.g., naporafenib / belvarafenib / exarafenib, lifirafenib) in trial. Class III (D594, G466, N581) — kinase-impaired; require upstream RTK activity; treat per RTK driver if present (e.g., EGFR or KRAS-G12C co-mutation), else MEK inhibition limited rationale. CRC Class II / III almost always co-occur with RAS or other MAPK alteration — distinct from V600E CRC (which is targetable per BEACON). Practice gap: PCR-only V600 hot-spot testing misses non-V600 entirely; full BRAF-region NGS required to detect.
