Wei Feng , Wang Zhaoxia , Wu Yun

Objective: The tumor suppressor gene methylation lead to gene silencing, it plays an important role in thyroid tumor occurrence and development. This study examined the tumor suppressor gene (PTEN, RASSF1A, DAPK, RARĪ²2) DNA methylation and mRNA expression status in the peripheral blood of patients with nodular thyroid disease. Discuss its clinical significance. For the benign and malignant thyroid nodules early identification of molecular diagnosis is based.<p class="...
