[Management of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 families in association with rare germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene].

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Heredity of MEN2 syndromes is caused by a heterozygous germline mutation in the RET proto-oncogene. This study describes families with rare noncysteine codon 790/791 mutations and discusses the genotype-phenotype correlation plus the therapeutic options. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Forty-five patients with a putative sporadic MTC were screened for RET germline mutations by direct DNA sequencing. Family...
