Abstract excerpt
DNA point mutations of the TSH receptor and of the alpha subunit of the stimulatory GTP-binding protein (Gs alpha) have been suggested as major causes of hyperfunctioning thyroid adenomas. However, significant differences in the prevalence of these mutations (from 0.3 to 84%) have been found in different populations. The present study was designed to evaluate further the presence of mutations in discrete...
