Robert West, Jonathan Pollack and colleagues identify mutations in either the Hedgehog pathway gene SMO or the MAPK gene BRAF in 24 of the 28 ameloblastoma samples studied. They found 9 of 11 SMO mutations were found in maxillary ameloblastomas, whereas 9 of 13 BRAF mutations were found in mandibular cases.
