Genetic Alterations in Thyroid Carcinoma Associated with Familial Adenomatous Polyposis: Clinical Implications and Suggestions for Early Detection
1 Dec 1998
Abstract excerpt
Germ-line mutations of the adenomatous polyposis (APC) gene, responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) were analyzed in 15 patients with FAP-associated papillary thyroid carcinomas: 13 had the mutation between codons 778 and 1309 (exon 15), 1 at codon 593 (exon 14), and 1 at codon 140 (exon 3). Therefore APC gene mutations clustered in the genomic area associated with congenital hypertrophy of the...
