Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial-rich oncocytic thyroid tumors frequently show near-haploidization and endoreduplication (masked haploidization), which manifests as a near-homozygous genome (NHG). We now extend this investigation to include adrenocortical cancer and parathyroid carcinoma (PaTC), which we studied for a NHG in association with mitochondrial DNA mutations. Sixty endocrine tumors from 59 patients were studied,...
