Communicated by B w e A.J. Pondei Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 [MEN 21 is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome with two subtypes, 2A and 2B. MEN 2A and medullary thyroid cancer [MTC] are caused by >25 different point mutations in exons 10, 11, and 13 of the RET proto-oncogene, whereas MEN 2B
Mutations in the N-, K-, and H-ras genes are key events in the process of carcinogenesis of many human cancers and may serve as important targets for therapeutic intervention. We developed a simple diagnostic method that in one step and within 5 hr determines the mutational status of any of the 3 ra
