متن کاملGenetic analysis of a patient with coexisting acromegaly, thyroid papillary carcinoma and subcutaneous fibroma
The aim of the present study was to analyze the MEN1 and gsα gene mutations in a Chinese patient with growth hormone-producing pituitary tumors causing acromegaly, papillary thyroid carcinoma and subcutaneous fibroma. Genomic DNA was isolated from the patient and 10 healthy controls, and prepared for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. Numerous pairs of primers were designed to amplify ex...
