Abstract excerpt
The object of this work was to compare the frequency of three polymorphic changes in the RET proto-oncogene: L769L, S836S, and S904S in patients with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC; n = 246) and in the general population (n = 420 for single-nucleotide polymorphism [SNP] L769L and S904S; n = 411 for SNP 836). We tried to investigate how the harbored SNPs affect the age at onset of sporadic medullary thyroid...
