It is established that somatic oncogene mutation (BRAF, NRAS, HRAS, KRAS) and gene translocations (RET/PTC, PAX8/PPAR-gamma) are associated with the development of thyroid cancer. Somatic single nucleotide polymorphisms were analyzed by LigthCycler melting method, while translocations were identified by real-time polymerase chain reaction technique. In 22 intraoperative thyroid tissue samples (11 pathologic and 11 normal). In tumorous sample 3 BRAF, 2 NRAS and one HRAS mutatio...
