Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: The modulation of the purinergic receptor P2X7 may be implicated in human carcinogenesis. The 1513A>C and 489C>T polymorphisms of P2X7R gene induce loss of function and gain of function, respectively. AIM: The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of both 1513A>C and 489C>T polymorphisms in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and to evaluate the possible association with clinical...
