Point Mutations in RET Proto-Oncogene Exon 10 in Patients with Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background & Aims: Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine malignancy. Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an aggressive malignant tumor arising from parafollicular cells of the thyroid. MTC occurs in hereditary (25%, hMTC) or sporadic (75%, sMTC) forms. The hMTC form has an autosomal dominant inheritance. RET proto-oncogene mutations, especially the 10, 11, and 16 exones, are associated w...
متن کاملTHE MUTATIONS OF RET PROTO-ONCOGENE IN MEDULLARY THYROID CARCINOMAS IN IRAN
MeduIIary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) occurs both sporadically and in the autosomal dominantly inherited multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2 syndromes. The distinction between true sporadic MTC and a new mutation familial case is important for future clinical management of both the patient and family. The susceptibility gene for hereditary MTC is the RET proto-oncogene. DNA analysis for g...
متن کاملRET proto-oncogene mutations in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer: a review article
Medullary thyroid cancer accounts for 5-10% of thyroid carcinomas. RET proto-oncogene mutations occur in all of the hereditary MTCs and about 66% of the sporadic MTCs. So, the detection of the RET mutations is necessary for rapid and proper diagnosis and treatment. This systematic review seeks to find a comprehensive list of RET gene mutations in the diagnosis of medullary thyroid cancer. The ...

متن کاملRET proto oncogene mutation detection and medullary thyroid carcinoma prevention.
Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine neoplasia. The medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is one of the most aggressive forms of thyroid malignancy,accounting for up to 10% of all types of this disease. The mode of inheritance of MTC is autosomal dominantly and gain of function mutations in the RET proto-oncogene are well known to contribute to its development. MTC occurs as hereditary (25%)...
