Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) occurs sporadically or as part of the inherited cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2. In MEN 2A, germline missense mutations are found in one of five cysteine codons within exons 10 and I I in the extracellular domain of the RET protooncogene. I
Germline and somatic mutations of the RET proto-oncogene are important pathogenetic factors in hereditary and sporadic forms of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). We have therefore analysed exons 10, I I. 13, 14 and 16 of this gene in 85 individuals from 16 Austrian families who, according to clinic
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
