Identification of a Signaling Axis HIF-1α/MicroRNA-210/ISCU Independent of SDH Mutation That Defines a Subgroup of Head and Neck Paragangliomas
14 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs) are rare tumors associated with the parasympathetic nervous system. Most are sporadic, but about one third result from germline mutations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) genes (SDHB, SDHC, SDHD, SDHA, or SDHAF2). Although a molecular connection between SDH dysfunction and tumor development is still unclear, the most accepted hypothesis proposes a central role of...
