  RET (5979)

  Ret	(MGI:97902)

  Transgene codes for a protein with a methionine to threonine mutation.

• Mutation details: The transgene consists of a human RET cDNA encoding the RET51 isoform with a methionine to threonine substitution at position 918 (M918T) fused to mouse Hoxb7 promoter sequences (-1316 to +81). Mouse Hoxb7 promoter was used to drive expression of the transgene throughout the uretic bud branches. The M918T mutation is associated with the human disease MEN2B syndrome. (J:71588)
