Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the molecular pathogenesis of implant-associated peripheral giant cell granuloma (IA-PGCG). METHODS: A convenience sample of 15 IA-PGCG cases was selected. Hotspot mutations of KRAS, FGFR1, and TRPV4 genes, previously reported in conventional giant cell lesions of the jaws, were investigated by Sanger sequencing. As these mutations could activate MAPK/ERK pathway, the expression of...
