Abstract excerpt
High incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide indicates the importance of studying genetic alterations that lead to its carcinogenesis. Specific acquired RAS mutations have been found to predominate in different cancers, and HRAS T81C polymorphism has been determined to contribute the risk of various cancers, including thyroid cancer. We screened the exons 1 and 2 of RAS genes (HRAS, KRAS, and NRAS) in 60...
