Genomic alterations in thymoma—molecular pathogenesis? [PDF]
Thymomas and thymic carcinomas (TCs) are neoplasms of thymic epithelial cells. Thymomas exhibit a low mutational burden and a few recurrently mutated genes. The most frequent missense mutation p.(Leu404His) affects the general transcription factor IIi (GTF2I) and is specific for thymic epithelial tumors (TETs).

Molecular Alterations in Sporadic Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a frequent endocrine disorder characterized by an excessive autonomous production and release of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands. This endocrinopathy may result from the development of a benign lesion (adenoma or hyperplasia) or from a carcinoma.

Molecular Alterations in Thyroid Carcinoma
Thyroid carcinoma is the most common cancer in the endocrine system. Recent advances, using next-generation sequencing, have shed light on the molecular pathogenesis of thyroid cancer. Constitutional activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway through RAS mutation, BRAF mutation, and/or fusions involving receptor tyrosine kinase (eg ...

Molecular Alterations in Meningioangiomatosis Causing Epilepsy
Abstract Meningioangiomatosis (MA) is a rare process at the intersection of cerebral developmental and neoplastic disorders that often results in epilepsy. We evaluated molecular alterations in MA to characterize its biology and pathogenesis. We searched a comprehensive institutional database for patients with MA treated between 2004 and
