Abstract excerpt
Variants in the human receptor tyrosine kinase RET can cause RET loss-of-function and Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR), while activating RET variants drive cancers including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). Paradoxically, some variants cause both HSCR and MEN2A. We curated 77 RET extracellular positions associated with HSCR, MEN2A or both and used a structure-based approach to predict the effects of...
