Abstract excerpt
Using polymerase chain reaction and sequence-specific oligonucleotide hybridization, the frequency of three ras oncogene mutations (N-ras, Ha-ras, and K-ras) in thyroid tumors (25 adenomas, 16 follicular carcinomas, and 22 papillary carcinomas) was investigated in both iodide-deficient and iodide-sufficient areas. The ras oncogene mutation rate was significantly higher in the iodide-deficient area, being 85...
