Abstract
A family with germline tandem V804M/Y806C mutations in the RET proto-oncogene was reported. The in vitro study results showing that these mutations were on the same allele and that RET with these mutations had a moderate transforming activity were confirmed by the clinical features of the offspring as a natural experiment. Thus, the tandem double RET mutations are pathogenetic for MEN 2B.Entities:
