Abstract excerpt
Significant progress has been made to elucidate the molecular mechanisms that determine thyroid tumor development and progression. However, most investigations have mainly focused on the genetic alterations of nuclear DNA. The potential role of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations in thyroid tumorigenesis is not well defined. In the present study, we investigated the frequency of mtDNA mutations in 24 thyroid...
