Abstract excerpt
In both medullary carcinoma and papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, altered expression of the RET gene is implicated in tumorigenesis. Recent studies suggest that loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the G691S SNP may be associated with tumors from patients with a history of radiation exposure. We investigated LOH for three RET SNPs (G691S, S904S, and L769L) in tumor and normal tissue from 46 patients from Ukraine and...
