Abstract excerpt
Correlation between clinicopathogenetic features and the expression of specific miRNAs is unclear in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). We therefore sought to assess whether miR-221 was associated with aggressive clinicopathologic characteristics and the BRAF mutation. We studied the expression levels of miR-221 using northern blot quantitated by scion image in 51 cases of PTCs. The status of BRAF of PTCs was...
