In contrast, NRAS, HRAS and KRAS mutations were observed more often in encapsulated FVPTCs (48.6% in non-invasive and 66.7% in invasive) than in infiltrative FVPTCs (15.4%) (P < 0.001).
Overall, 13 cases (46%) harbored RAS mutations, including seven (25%) with NRAS mutations (p.Gln61Arg) and six (21%) with HRAS mutations (five had p.Gln61Arg and one had a p.Gln61Lys substitution).No PE/WC FVPTCs had BRAF mutations.
