Summary

This work has identified missense mutations of the RET proto-oncogene in 20 of 23 apparently distinct MEN 2A families, but not in 23 normal controls, and found that 19 of these 20 mutations affect the same conserved cysteine residue at the boundary of theRET extracellular and transmembrane domains.
