Germ-line mutations of the RET proto-oncogene in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A

TL;DR: This work has identified missense mutations of the RET proto-oncogene in 20 of 23 apparently distinct MEN 2A families, but not in 23 normal controls, and found that 19 of these 20 mutations affect the same conserved cysteine residue at the boundary of theRET extracellular and transmembrane domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Specific mutations of the RET proto-oncogene are related to disease phenotype in MEN 2A and FMTC.

TL;DR: The data show a strong correlation between disease phenotype and the nature and position of theRET mutation, suggesting that a simple, constitutive activation of the RET tyrosine kinase is unlikely to explain the events leading to MEN 2A and FMTC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Point mutation within the tyrosine kinase domain of the RET proto-oncogene in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B and related sporadic tumours

TL;DR: A missense mutation, resulting in the substitution of a threonine for a methionine at codon 918 in the tyrosine kinase catalytic domain, is reported in the germline of 26 of 28 apparently distinct families with MEN 2B.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic events in tumour initiation and progression in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2.

TL;DR: It is suggested that at least 7 genes contribute to tumour development in MEN 2, including an initiating locus on chromosome 10 and loci on chromosomes 1, 3, 11, 13, 17, and 22 which have a progressional role in these tumours.
