Here, we describe the identification of three human genes with altered expression in thyroid diseases. One of them corresponds to insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 (IGFBP5), which has already been described as over expressed in other cancers and, for the first time, is identified as overexpressed in thyroid tumors. The other genes, named 44 and 199, are ESTs with yet unknown function and were mapped on human chromosomes seven and four, respectively. We determined by RT-PCR the expression level of these genes in ten samples of disease-free thyroid, ten of goiter, nine of papillary carcinoma, ten of adenoma and seven of follicular carcinoma and the significance of observed differences was statistically determined. IGFBP5 and gene 44 were significantly overexpressed in papillary carcinoma when compared to normal and goiter. Genes 44 and 199 were differentially expressed in follicular carcinoma and adenoma when compared to normal thyroid tissue. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
