Detection of Papillary and Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma

13 Molecular Detection of Papillary and Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma 

The RET gene rearrangement in papillary thyroid carcinoma is caused by an intrachromosomal inversion or by a translocation involving the tyrosine kinase receptor domain of the RET/PTC (papillary thyroid carcinoma) gene resulting the 

The follovdng genetic abnormalities are further rare RET rearrangements, also reported in radiation-induced papillary thyroid carcinoma  

RET/ PCT5 rearrangement, caused by the fusion of the RET gene vdth the GO EGAS gene on chromosome 14q.
