Mutations of the ret protooncogene in German multiple endocrine neoplasia families: Relation between genotype and phenotype. [PDF]
It has been suggested that not only the position but also the nature of the mutations of the ret protooncogene strongly correlate with the clinical manifestation of the multiple endocrine neoplasm type 2 (MEN 2) syndrome.

BAC-FISH assays delineate complex chromosomal rearrangements in a case of post-Chernobyl childhood thyroid cancer [PDF]
Structural chromosome aberrations are known hallmarks of many solid tumors. In the papillary form of thyroid cancer (PTC), for example, activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) genes, RET and neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type I (NTRK1)

Mutations and amplification of oncogenes in endometrial cancer [PDF]
Alterations in oncogenes are critical steps in the development of endometrial cancer. To investigate the potential clinical relevance of the amplification of the oncogenes c-erbB2, c-myc, and int-2 and the mutation of K-ras in endometrial cancer, 112 ...

G protein-coupled receptor dimerisation: molecular basis and relevance to function [PDF]
The belief that G protein-coupled receptors exist and function as monomeric, non-interacting species has been largely supplanted in recent years by evidence, derived from a range of approaches, that indicate they can form dimers and/or higher-order ...

Immunohistochemical evaluation of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 and estrogen and progesterone receptors in breast carcinoma in Jordan [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Although breast carcinoma (BC) is the most common malignancy affecting Jordanian females and the affected population in Jordan is younger than that in the West, no information is available on its biological characteristics. Our aims in this

TheMASProto-oncogene Is Imprinted in Human Breast Tissue
The human MAS proto-oncogene is situated at 6q25.3-q26, a region that is homologous to mouse chromosome 17 where two parentally imprinted genes (Mas and Igf2r) have previously been identified. We investigated the imprinting status of MAS in adult lesions to establish the imprinting status of this gene in humans, as certain imprinted genes are known to ...
