5 race , BRAF , NTRK1 , PTC , thyroid

Activating mutations of genes coding for two different tyrosine kinase receptor, either RET or NTRK1 (also named TRKA), as well as of RAS or BRAF gene are associated with human thyroid papillary carcinoma (PTC). RET or NTRK1 protooncogene encodes a cell-surface transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor with nerve growth factor as its lignand. Oncogenic potential of these two genes in thyrocytes results from replacement of their 5 portion by regulatory parts of other genes, leading to constitutive a...
