RET gene mutation near me in Bhubaneshwar

RET is a proto-oncogene that encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase. Mutations in the RET gene can lead to the development of certain cancers, particularly medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). RET gene mutation testing helps diagnose and classify these conditions. It's also used for risk assessment in families with a history of these conditions, allowing for early intervention and personalized medical management. Additionally, targeted therapies may be considered for some individuals with RET mutations associated with cancer.
