Abstract excerpt
Germline mutations in RET proto-oncogene associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) may affect codons for the extracellular cysteine-rich (ECR) or the intracellular tyrosine kinase (ITK) domain of the transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase protein. We compared C-cell pathology in asymptomatic carriers of RET mutation affecting the 2 domains. Twenty-two asymptomatic carriers (median age, 9.5...
