## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Tall cell variant papillary carcinoma of the thyroid demonstrates unusually aggressive clinical behavior compared with the usual form of papillary thyroid carcinoma. The protoβoncogene cβ__met__ encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor known to influence cell invasion. This cur

## Abstract A novel gene, __ELKS,__ whose 5β² portion was fused to the __RET__ gene, was found in a papillary thyroid carcinoma. A cDNA of this gene obtained from a humanβbrain cDNA library revealed that it encoded a peptide of 948 amino acids, termed ELKSΞ±. We identified four other isoforms, which
## Abstract We previously obtained gene expression profiles of 8 matched papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and normal tissues using DNA microarrays. To identify novel tumor suppressor genes involved in thyroid carcinogenesis, we here analyze genes showing lower expression in PTC tumors than in norm
