Telomerase-Dependent and Independent Telomere Maintenance and its Clinical Implications in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
23 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Telomere maintenance via telomerase activation and the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) mechanism was assessed in medullary thyroid carcinoma. SETTING AND DESIGN: In total, 42 medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTC) were studied including 24 rearranged during transfection (RET)- mutated cases. Relative telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) expression, splice forms, and telomere length were...
