In this study, PTCs diagnosed in patients aged less than 18 years were retrospectively searched from the institutional archive and tumor tissue was tested for point mutations in BRAF and RAS genes and for rearrangements in RET, NTRK1, NTRK3, ALK, PPARG, BRAF and THADA. A total of 163 PTCs were analyzed. Here, NTRK3 is linked to neoplasm.
