Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the RET protooncogene (RET) could modify disease susceptibility and clinical phenotype in patients with sporadic or familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). OBJECTIVE/DESIGN OF THE STUDY: Because frequencies of RET SNPs have not yet been evaluated in patients with elevated serum concentrations of calcitonin (hCt), a biochemical marker for medullary thyroid...
