Integrated Genomic Characterization of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Nishant Agrawal, +242 more
- 23 Oct 2014 - 
TL;DR: The genomic landscape of 496 PTCs is described and a reclassification of thyroid cancers into molecular subtypes that better reflect their underlying signaling and differentiation properties is proposed, which has the potential to improve their pathological classification and better inform the management of the disease.
Journal Article

High prevalence of BRAF mutations in thyroid cancer: genetic evidence for constitutive activation of the RET/PTC-RAS-BRAF signaling pathway in papillary thyroid carcinoma.

TL;DR: It is shown that a somatic mutation of BRAF, V599E, is the most common genetic change in PTCs, and represents a unique paradigm of human tumorigenesis through mutation of three signaling effectors lying in tandem.
