RET cooperates with RB/p53 inactivation in a somatic multi-step model for murine thyroid cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Mice bred to carry germline Rb and p53 null alleles are associated with a tumor spectrum that overlaps with the inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia-1 (MEN1) and MEN2 syndromes in humans, including medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). To study the genetic basis for these tumors, we microdissected MTC specimens or obtained fresh MTC tissue from nine independent Rb(+/-) p53(+/-) mice, amplified the region of the Ret...
