Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene have been found in familial and sporadic forms of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR), but also in the autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) syndromes, which comprise the medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) as an obligatory feature. Besides mutations various polymorphisms of the RET proto-oncogene are associated with the HSCR. In this study,...
