Abstract excerpt
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common form of thyroid cancer, comprising 80% of all thyroid malignancies. The phosphoinositide-3-kinase-protein kinase B/Akt (PI3K-PKB/Akt) pathway is a main pathway in control of cell growth. Activated mTOR and Akt are involved in the development and progression of the PTC. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of MTOR (rs2536 and rs2295080) and AKT1 (rs2494732,...
