Polyclonal and monoclonal thyroid nodules coexist within human multinodular goiters
1994-07-01
Abstract excerpt
Although somatic mutations have been identified in a subset of thyroid nodules, the pathogenesis of nodules in multinodular goiters remains unclear. Clonal analysis indicates whether a nodule arises from the polyclonal proliferation of a group of cells or forms a clone from a genetically altered cell. Individual thyroid nodules have been shown to be of polyclonal or monoclonal origin. In this study we examined the...
