PURPOSE Low-grade serous carcinoma (LGSC) is a rare type of ovarian cancer, which commonly arises from serous borderline tumor (SBT) and is characterized by frequent activating mutations in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, including BRAF. The BRAF^V600E mutation is associated with improved prognosis in SBT and LGSC, and responses to BRAF inhibitor therapy have been reported. We sought to characterize the clinicopathologic and molecular features of BRAF-driven tubo-ovarian and primary peritoneal serous tumors. METHODS Retrospective analysis of our institutional cohort of SBTs (n = 22), LGSCs (n = 119) and high-grade serous carcinomas (HGSCs, n = 1,290) subjected to targeted massively parallel sequencing was performed to identify cases with BRAF genetic alterations. Putative BRAF rearrangements were confirmed using targeted RNA sequencing and/or fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). BRAF^V600E oncoprotein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry on selected cases. RESULTS BRAF somatic genetic alterations were identified in 29 of 1,431 (2%) serous tumors and included mutations (n = 24), gene rearrangements (n = 3), and amplification (n = 2). BRAF mutations were more frequent in SBTs (7 of 22; 32%) compared with LGSCs (11 of 119; 9%, P = .009) and HGSCs (6 of 1,290; 0.5%; P < .0001, SBT/LGSC v HGSC). The BRAF^V600E hotspot mutation was most common (n = 16); however, other BRAF driver mutations were also detected (n = 8). BRAF mutations were often clonal or truncal in SBTs and LGSCs, but subclonal in most HGSCs. Pathogenic BRAF gene fusions were identified in LGSCs (n = 2) and HGSC (n = 1) and involved distinct fusion partners ( AGK, MKRN1, and AGAP3). Three patients with BRAF-mutant LGSC were treated with targeted mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitors, one of whom was maintained on therapy for over 3 years with clinical benefit. CONCLUSION Recognition of BRAF alterations beyond V600E mutation in LGSC may have clinical implications for appropriate targeted therapy selection.
