Özet

Background: Constitutively activating mutations in the thyrotropin receptor (TSHR) and the guanine nucleotide-binding protein G subunit alpha (GNAS) are the primary cause of hot thyroid nodules (HTNs). The reported prevalence of TSHR and GNAS mutations in HTNs varies. Previous studies show TSHR mutations in 8-82% of HTNs and GNAS mutations in 8-75% of HTNs. With sensitive and comprehensive targeted next-generation sequencing (tNGS), we re-evaluated the prevalence of TSHR and GNAS mutations in HTNs.
