Although 20% of follicular neoplasms are papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), their cytological diagnosis is not diagnostic. A different profile of gene expression between malignant and benign thyroid tumors has been reported. Aim of this study was to identify a gene expression profile to be used in distinguishing malignant from benign thyroid neoplasms. By real-time RT-PCR we analyzed mRNA expression of 6 thyroid differentiation genes (TTF-1, PAX8, TPO, TSHr, NIS and Tg) and 5 ...

BRAFV600E is the most common mutation in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Anatomo-patology and clinical features of PTC with BRAFV600E are well described in literature.Aim of this study was to examine the prognostic significance of BRAFV600E in patients with PTC and a follow-up of 15-20 years.Genomic DNA was purified from 67 paraffin-embedded tumoral tissue. A PCR-SSCP analysis of exon 15 of BRAF ...
