Frequency of RET Proto-Oncogene Mutations in Patients with Normal and with Moderately Elevated Pentagastrin-Stimulated Serum Concentrations of Calcitonin

1 Aug 2004

Abstract excerpt

The possibility of germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene (exons 10, 11, 13, 14, and 16) was investigated in 75 patients (57 men, 18 women) with a negative family history for medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), elevated (> 10 pg/mL) basal serum concentrations of human calcitonin (hCT) and a pentagastrin (PG)-stimulated serum hCT ranging from 50-100 pg/mL. Seventy patients (50 men, 20 women) with basal serum...
