Abstract excerpt
Radiation-induced human papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs) show a high prevalence of fusions of the RET proto-oncogene to heterologous genes H4 (RET/PTC1) and ELE1 (RET/PTC3), respectively. In contrast to the normal membrane-bound RET protein, aberrant RET fusion proteins are constitutively active oncogenic cytosolic proteins that can lead to malignant transformation of thyroid epithelia. To detect specific...
