Gene Symbol RET
Synonyms CDHF12 | CDHR16 | HSCR1 | MEN2A | MEN2B | MTC1 | PTC | RET-ELE1
Gene Description RET, ret proto-oncogene, is a receptor tyrosine kinase that activates MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways and regulates cell growth and differentiation (PMID: 24561444, PMID: 29134959, PMID: 32094155). RET germline mutations result in MEN2 syndromes and familial medullary thyroid carcinoma (PMID: 20930041, PMID: 24561444) and somatic RET activating mutations, fusions, and Ret amplification and/or overexpression has been associated with a variety of cancers including lung (PMID: 30257958) and colorectal (PMID: 30210625, PMID: 30038711).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Variant Impact Protein Effect Variant Description Associated with drug Resistance
A883X missense unknown RET A883X indicates any Ret missense mutation that results in replacement of the alanine (A) at amino acid 883 by a different amino acid.
