Abstract excerpt
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease, characterized by germ-line variants in RET proto-oncogene. Variants are frequently located in the RET extracellular cysteine-rich region domain, mainly affecting cysteines which are replaced by an alternative amino acid, resulting in a mispaired cysteine and the generation of RET dimers. We describe a novel c.1765A > T variant...
