Knowledge of additional alterations that co-occur with BRAF-mutations in gliomas may improve diagnosis and help identify patients that could benefit from targeted therapies. Furthermore, we provide examples of two patients whose tumors responded to BRAF pathway inhibitors, arguing in favor of these therapies in patients with BRAF-mutant gliomas.
