Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked degenerative disorder of muscle, caused by gross rearrangements by the dystrophin gene in two-thirds of cases. The remaining one-third of patients may carry more subtle mutations that are difficult to detect because of the large size and complexity of
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) may occur sporadically or as part of the autosomal dominant multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2). Three hereditary forms of MEN 2 have been identified: MEN 2A, MEN 2B, and familial MTC (FMTC). Missense germ-line mutations in the RET protooncogene have been id
