Introduction: Differentiated thyroid cancer has usually good prognosis and long-term survival. Distant metastasis ratio is 5–15%. Metastasis to cerebrum, breast, liver, kidney, muscle, and skin is relatively rare. The study of molecular mechanisms of PTC has demonstrated that BRAFV600E gene mutation is a significant event in the process of this disease.Case: 55-year-old-male patient who had multinodular goiter showed malignant cytology in fine-needl...

Introduction: Vitamin D deficiency has become a major public health problem. It’s known that the effects of vitamin D are made by its receptors. VDR gene polymorphisms in susceptibility to different diseases demonstrated in many studies. The polymorphisms of VDR are ApaI, TaqI, FokI, and BsmI. BsmI is the most extensively studied polymorphism. In our study, the aim is to show the frequency of VDR BsmI gene polymorphisms and to show the relationship between polymorphisms a...
