Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in one of two alleles of c-ret, c-met and c-kit protooncogenes have been revealed to be the causes of three autosomal dominant hereditary tumors; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2(MEN2), hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma (HPRCC), and familial gastrointestinal stromal tumor(FGIST), respectively.
