Deoxyribonucleic Acid Damage and Spontaneous Mutagenesis in the Thyroid Gland of Rats and Mice
21 Apr 2006
Abstract excerpt
Thyroid tumors are a frequent finding not only in iodine-deficient regions. They are predominantly characterized by somatic genetic changes (e.g. point mutations or rearrangements). Because slow thyroid proliferation is a apparent contradiction to a high frequency of tumor initiation, we characterized mutational events in thyroid. First we studied the frequency of certain base exchanges in somatic TSH receptor...
