Heterogeneity in the Distribution of<i>RET</i>/<i>PTC</i>Rearrangements within Individual Post-Chernobyl Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas
1 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
The nuclear disaster that occurred in Chernobyl in 1986 offered the unique opportunity to study the molecular genetics of one human tumor type, papillary carcinoma of the thyroid gland, associated with a specific etiology. We have analyzed RET rearrangements in post-Chernobyl papillary thyroid carcinomas (n = 29), follicular thyroid adenomas (n = 2), and follicular thyroid carcinoma (n = 1) by interphase...
