ZD6474 Suppresses Oncogenic RET Isoforms in a <i>Drosophila</i> Model for Type 2 Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndromes and Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
1 May 2005
Abstract excerpt
Patients with hereditary medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A and 2B and familial MTC (FMTC) have mutations in the RET proto-oncogene. Approximately 40 percent of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) typically have either intrachromosomal or extrachromosomal rearrangements that join the promoter and NH(2)-terminal domains of unrelated genes to...
