Precise Detection of Gene Mutations in Fine-Needle Aspiration Specimens of the Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma Using Next-Generation Sequencing
19 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Purpose. To assess the feasibility of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect mutations in BRAF, RAS, TERT promoter, and TP53 genes in ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy samples of the papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). Methods. A total of 135 FNA samples out of 135 patients with suspected PTMC were submitted for mutation testing using NGS. NGS was successfully performed in 114...
