Evaluation of the PAX8/PPARG Translocation in Follicular Thyroid Cancer with a 4-Color Reverse-Transcription PCR Assay and Automated High-Resolution Fragment Analysis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Molecular testing of thyroid malignancies, in combination with cytologic and histologic examination, is becoming increasingly attractive as a tool for refining traditional morphologic diagnosis. The molecular changes associated with follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) are point mutations in RAS oncogenes or the presence of PAX8/PPARG (paired box 8/peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma)...
