mutations in MEN2B
mutations in familial medullary thryoid carcinoma (FMTC)
mutations in unilateral renal agenesis (#11454140#)
mutationsd in congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) (MIM.209880) isolated or with total colonic aganglionosis
fusion gene in papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTC)
- RET/PTC1 (papillary thyroid carcinoma)
- RET/PTC2 (papillary thyroid carcinoma)
- RET/PTC3 (papillary thyroid carcinoma)
- RET/PTC8 (papillary thyroid carcinoma)
- RET/PCM1 (papillary thyroid carcinoma)
- RET/RFG8 (papillary thyroid carcinoma)
RET/papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a marker for papillary thyroid carcinoma, but its specificity has been questioned because of the disputed identification of RET/PTC in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT), oncocytic tumors, and other thyroid lesions.
Expression in tumors
Expression levels of the ret proto-oncogene (RET), insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGFR1), and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IFG2) correlate with poor metastasis-free survival, supporting a role for ERK/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways in clinically aggressive myxoid liposarcomas. (#19368956#)
