Journal Article

A novel point mutation in the tyrosine kinase domain of the RET proto-oncogene in sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma and in a family with FMTC

TL;DR: A missense mutation in the intracellular tyrosine kinase domain of RET is reported in the germline of a family with FMTC that does not have a cysteine codon mutation, confirming that it is likely to be of pathological significance rather than a rare polymorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Germline mutation of RET codon 883 in two cases of de novo MEN 2B

TL;DR: The identification of a new germline RET mutation (A883F) in two de novo cases of MEN 2B will contribute to understanding the molecular basis of MEN2B, and will assist in the clinical management of families harbouring this mutation.
Journal Article

Effect of germ-line genetic variation on breast cancer survival in a population-based study.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate the potential of the analysis of germ-line variation to provide insight into the biological determinants of response to treatment and prognosis in breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

RET alternate splicing influences the interaction of activated RET with the SH2 and PTB domains of Shc, and the SH2 domain of Grb2.

TL;DR: Using RET activated by a MEN 2 mutation, it is shown that both the SH2 and PTB domains of the adaptor protein Shc interact with RET, and the PTB domain interaction site is identified.
