Loss of NKX2-1 predisposes thyroid to neoplasm development through regulation of oxidative stress

Yo-Taro Shirai, Jerrold Michael Ward, Yoshinori Takizawa…·Shioko Kimura

The paper shows that loss of NKX2-1 increases thyroid cancer risk by promoting oxidative stress through ROS production and DNA damage in mice exposed to radiation and iodine deficiency.
