Detection of PAX8-PPARG fusion transcripts in archival thyroid carcinoma samples by conventional RT-PCR..     ///    The RT-PCR approach described herein allows to detect all known variants of PAX8-PPARG fusion transcripts and is applicable to FFPE tissues.     ///    The aim of the present study was to develop a method for the detection of chimeric PAX8-PPARG transcripts in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) thyroid tumor samples by conventional RT-PCR.
