The effect of mutations at codon 804 in the RET protooncogene is disputed. Some studies have suggested that the V804L mutation causes the low penetrance multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndrome, with late onset and relatively indolent course, whereas others have reported that V804L and V804M have an aggressive potential.
