We previously reported that colon carcinomas, adenomas, and hyperplastic polyps exhibiting a serrated histology were very likely to possess BKAF mutations, whereas when these same advanced colonic lesions exhibited non-serrated histology, they were wild type for BRAF; among hyperplastic polyps, KRAS mutations were found mainly in a non-serrated variant. On this basis, we predicted that hyperplastic aberrant crypt foci (ACF), a putative precancerous lesion found in the colon, exhibiting a serrated phenotype would also harbor BRAF mutations and that non-serrated ACF would not. In contrast, KRAS mutations would be found more often in the nonserrated ACE We examined 55 ACF collected during screening colonoscopy from a total of 28 patients. Following laser capture microdissection, DNA was isolated, and mutations in BRAF and KRAS were determined by direct PCR sequencing. When hyperplastic lesions were further classified into serrated and non-serrated histologies, there was a strong inverse relationship between BPAF and KRAS mutations: a BRAF(V600E) mutation was identified in 10 of 16 serrated compared with I of 33 non-serrated lesions (P = 0.001); conversely, KRAS mutations were present in 3 of 16 serrated compared with 14 of 33 non-serrated lesions. Our finding of a strong association between BPAF mutations and serrated histology in hyperplastic ACF supports the idea that these lesions are an early, sentinel, or a potentially initiating step on the serrated pathway to colorectal carcinoma.
