The RET Proto-Oncogene in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 and Hirschsprung's Disease

Eng, Charis·1996·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Recent years have brought major advances in our understanding of the molecular genetic basis of both types of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN), an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome. MEN type 1 (MEN-1 [designated “MEN 1” by the Second International MEN Workshop]) is the triad of parathyroid, pancreatic islet-cell, and anterior pituitary tumors.1 Carcinoid, adrenal cortical, and lipoid tumors may also occur in MEN-1. Its susceptibility gene has been mapped but not isolated, and in some kindreds polymorphic markers that flank the gene can be used for predictive DNA testing.2 MEN type 2 (MEN-2) is a syndrome of medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
