Diverse phenotypes associated with exon 10 mutations of the RET proto-oncogene
1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the RET proto-oncogene are the underlying cause of some cases of Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) and the inherited cancer syndromes multiple endocrine neoplasia types 2A (MEN 2A) and 2B (MEN 2B) and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC). In HSCR these mutations are dispersed throughout the gene, while in MEN 2A and FMTC, they are tightly clustered in five cysteine codons of the RET extracellular...
