Somatic mutations in the <i>RET</i> proto‐oncogene in sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma
1 Mar 1996
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We have determined the frequency of specific mutations in the RET proto-oncogene in sporadic medullary thyroid carcinomas (MTCs) and correlated the presence or absence of a codon 918 mutation with the clinical characteristics of these tumours. DESIGN: Thirty paraffin-embedded sporadic MTCs and two frozen MTCs were collected for analysis of specific mutations in the RET proto-oncogene in codons 609,...
