Abstract excerpt
A new point mutation, TCG(Ser)-->GCG(Ala) in codon 891, exon 15 of the RET protooncogene was revealed in two patients from a pedigree with familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (FMTC), but not in healthy persons. A linkage analysis with two well-known and two new intragene polymorphisms showed that informative polymorphic markers, the phenotypic expression of the disease, and the mutation are cosegregated in the...
