Abstract excerpt
The etiology and genetic alterations of follicular thyroid carcinoma are not well understood. By targeting a mutation (PV) into the thyroid hormone receptor beta gene (TRbetaPV mouse), we created a knock-in mutant TRbeta(PV/PV) mouse that spontaneously develop follicular thyroid carcinoma with progression to metastasis similar to human follicular thyroid carcinoma. This mouse model provides a valuable tool to...
