Abstract excerpt
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and pheochromocytoma appear in either a sporadic or a hereditary form as components of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN). Many germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene have been reported in patients with MEN 2A and 2B, and familial MTC (FMTC). To elucidate the etiological roles in tumorigenesis of sporadic MTCs and pheochromocytomas, mutations in the cysteine-rich region of...
