Abstract：
:RET mutations have been identified as the underlying cause of two congenital diseases that predominately affect tissues of neural crest origin: the MEN 2 cancer syndromes and a proportion of cases of dominantly inherited Hirschsprung disease, a disorder of gut development. This review summarizes the disease-causing mutations and our present understanding of their possible effects on RET protein function.
