A Landscape of Driver Mutations in Melanoma. Download. Related Papers. Exome sequencing identifies recurrent somatic MAP2K1 and MAP2K2 mutations in melanoma. By Ioannis Xenarios, Christian Iseli, Jacques S Beckmann, and A. Valsesia. Whole .  · Genomic landscape of driver mutations in melanoma, adapted from Hodis et al. Mutations in the BRAF gene is a good example of a key driver mutation. This leads to a hyperactive protein and massive growth of these tumour cells. Luckily, therapies have been made to target this hyperactive protein. LanDscaPe of DrIver mutatIons Melanoma is caused by hotspot mutations in BRAF and NRAS genes in approximately 50% and 20% of patients, respectively. Efforts to identify the genetic driving events in BRAF/NRAS wild-type melanomas became possible with advances in next-generation sequencing technology.
