Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations of the ras oncogene family occur at high frequency in all stages of thyroid tumorigenesis, both human and experimental. To test the causal nature of this association, and to investigate the biological role of ras mutation, we introduced a mutant c-Ha-ras gene into normal rat...
