As another example, supporting evidence of functional relevance was presented by Ceolin and collaborators [19], who evaluated the frequency of RET (REarranged during Transfection) proto-oncogene 3’UTR variants (rs76759170 and rs3026785) in Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) patients. The gene discussed is RET; the disease is medullary thyroid gland carcinoma.
