The patterns of RET proto-oncogene expression in mouse, rat, and chicken and the anomalies observed in targeted RET mutants suggest that RET plays a major role in development of mouse enteric nervous system and in kidney organogenesis. Here, we report on in situ hybridization studies describing the

## Abstract The c‐met proto‐oncogene encodes the receptor to hepatocyte growth factor‐scatter factor (HGF‐SF), a mesenchyme‐derived cytokine with cell‐dissociating, invasion, and angiogenic properties. The expression of c‐met in breast cancer is the subject of controversy; 111 primary breast cancer
Two studies on breast cancer patients are described. Our aim was to examine whether the combined frequency of rare c-Ha-ras-l alleles in cancer patients was raised. Firstly, the c-Ha-ras-l locus in 56 breast cancer patients and 48 controls was examined for restriction fragment length polymorphism (R
Missense germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene have recently been identified in the hereditary cancer syndromes MENZA, MEN2B, and FMTC, all characterized by medullary carcinoma, hut also including phaeochromocytoma in MEN2A and MEN2B and parathyroid disease in MENZA. In addition, somatic RET
Amplification without structural rearrangements of the c-myc proto-oncogene was found in 14 of 44 primary cervical neoplasms. There was no apparent correlation with stage of disease or degree of cellular differentiation. The prognostic significance of c-myc amplification cannot be determined from th
