G-protein mutations in thyroid tumors.

Abstract excerpt

Tissue specific G-protein mutations have been found in differentiated thyroid cancer with a higher prevalence in tumors from German than from American patients. Since activating mutations of Gs are principally comparable to chronic TSH stimulation of these tumor-thyrocytes such mutations may predict changes in tumor development and patient prognosis. The fundamental background and recent results of studies on...
