Epigenetic modifications are defined as heritable changes in gene expression that are not accompanied by changes in the nucleotide sequence of DNA. The relationship between epigenetic mechanisms and tumorigenesis was first verified through of whole genome hypomethylation in carcinomas. Abnormal methylation appears to play an important role in differentiated thyroid carcinomas derived from…
MTC, a relatively uncommon form of cancer originating from the parafollicular C-cells of the thyroid, accounts for approximately 2-8% of thyroid cancers1. Activating mutations in the RET receptor tyrosine kinase gene are common in MTC, and KRAS or HRAS mutations also occur. Remarkably, in a recent whole exome sequencing study, no other driver mutations were identified recurrently in MTC,…
