Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in the RET proto-oncogene (RET gene) are well documented as the genetic causes of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A). We performed genetic analysis by direct RET gene mutation analysis in a Chinese MEN2A family and compared these results with biochemical screening tests and pathological examinations. Twenty-one exons and flanking introns of the RET gene were amplified using polymerase...
