Positive BRAF mutation status was reasonably predicted by multivariate binary logistic regression by 2 independent predictors: Geographic location and compound nevus type.ConclusionsIn our Near Eastern cohort, the BRAF mutation rate varied significantly by geographic location. In patients with multiple ...
