Molecular Analysis of the<i>ret</i>and<i>GDNF</i>Genes in a Family with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A and Hirschsprung Disease<sup>1</sup>
1 Sept 1998
Abstract excerpt
The clinical association between multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) and Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is infrequent. Germline mutations of the ret protooncogene are the underlying cause of the MEN2 syndromes and a proportion of cases of HSCR. In this report, we describe a new kindred in which the MEN2 and HSCR phenotypes are associated with a single C620S point mutation at one of the cysteine codons of the...
