Anti-thyroidal peroxidase antibodies are associated with thyrotropin levels in hypothyroid patients and in euthyroid individuals.
OBJECTIVE The study was designed to evaluate the relationship between thyroid antibodies and gland dysfunction, with the aim of finding a clinically useful threshold value of thyreoperoxidase antibodies, which could prove to be predictive for thyroid failure. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study was conducted on 99 women, ages ranging from 18-91 years (mean age: 45.5 ±17.0), were treated as outpati...
متن کاملPlasma Calcitonin Levels and miRNA323 Expression in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Patients with or without RET Mutation
Background: Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is an endocrine tumor featuring parafollicular or C-cell differentiation, with calcitonin as a specific biomarker in MTC diagnosis. Germline mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are considered responsible for its familial occurrence and somatic mutations can cause sporadic lesions. MicroRNAs can act as oncogenes or tumor suppressors by inhibiting the ex...
