Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To elucidate the genetic background of anaplastic transformation, RET rearrangements and BRAF mutation were studied in composite undifferentiated carcinomas (UCs) of the thyroid, which are UCs having papillary carcinoma (PC) components. METHODS AND RESULTS: Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed for RET rearrangements and PCR for BRAF mutation in UC and PC components that...
