Abstract excerpt
Constitutive activation of the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) cascade by either thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) or gsp mutations is considered to be the major molecular cause of toxic thyroid nodules (TTNs). In a recent study we investigated a consecutive series of 31 TTNs and identified 15 so...
