Abstract excerpt
The NRAS(A182G) mutation, which results in the NRAS(Q61R) protein, is a major driver mutation in follicular-patterned thyroid neoplasms. Although new immunohistochemistry (IHC) for NRAS(Q61R) is now available, its sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic utility for thyroid tumors are not yet established. We performed IHC for NRAS(Q61R) and direct sequencing for NRAS codon 61 in 4 thyroid cancer-derived cell...
