A novel polymorphism in the coding sequence of the human RET proto-oncogene

Hum Genet. 1994 Nov;94(5):579-80. doi: 10.1007/BF00211034.

Abstract

A novel polymorphism in the coding sequence of the human RET proto-oncogene is described. The RET proto-oncogene maps to chromosome 10q11.2, and is involved in multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN 2A, MEN 2B), familial medullary thyroid carcinoma and Hirschsprung's disease.
