title: [Role of oncogenic G-proteins in development of endocrine neoplasms].
abstract: New data available in the literature on the role of oncogenic heterotrimeric GTP-proteins (G-proteins) in endocrine tissue carcinogenesis have been analyzed. A conclusion is made that stimulatory G-proteins coded by the gsp-oncogene are a major factor of the development of some pituitary and thyroid tumors. However, the role of the other oncogenic G-proteins in tumorigenesis remains unclear.
