ALT_DEFINITION |
Multiple endocrine neoplasia caused by activating mutation(s) of the RET protooncogene, encoding proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase receptor Ret (most commonly the M918T mutation). This condition is characterized by an aggressive form of medullary thyroid carcinoma, accompanied by pheochromocytoma, mucosal neuromas, thickened corneal nerves, and Marfanoid habitus in most affected individuals. |
