Mutations of the ret protooncogene in German multiple endocrine neoplasia families: Relation between genotype and phenotype. [PDF]
, 1996 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.

DNA topoisomerases participate in fragility of the oncogene RET [PDF]
, 2013 Fragile site breakage was previously shown to result in rearrangement of the RET oncogene, resembling the rearrangements found in thyroid cancer. Common fragile sites are specific regions of the genome with a high susceptibility to DNA breakage under ...

The effect of oxidation on the stability of G-quadruplex DNA : implications for oncogene expression [PDF]
, 2011 G-quadruplexes (G4-DNA) are a class of secondary structures formed from Guanine rich sequences. In recent years these structures have been implicated in both telomere maintenance and oncogene expression, and have been shown to be abundant in upstream ...

The receptor tyrosine kinase RET is a Hsp90 client protein and is degraded upon exposure to 17-AAG. [PDF]
, 2009 Molecular alterations of the receptor tyrosin kinase RET are involved in the pathogenesis of thyroid cancer. Germline point mutations in the extracellular and intracellular domains of the receptor are responsible of a group of inherited cancer diseases ...

JNK and ERK8 as downstream effectors of receptor tyrosine kinases [PDF]
, 2006 MAP kinases are a super-family of serine-threonine protein kinases expressed in all eukaryotic cells. In mammals, there are many MAP kinases with different biological functions, grouped in distinctly regulated groups, ERK1/2 (extracellular signal related
