Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: RET single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Here, we investigated the influence of multiple RET variants (G691S, L769L, S836S, and S904S) on the risk of MTC and tumor behavior. DESIGN AND METHODS: One hundred and seven MTC patients and 308 cancer-unaffected control individuals were included. SNPs were analyzed...
