What does this test RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test identify?

Test: RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test

The RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test is a genetic test that identifies mutations in the RET gene. The RET gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the development and maintenance of nerve cells, particularly in the cells of the thyroid, adrenal glands, and nervous system.

Specifically, this test focuses on 8 specific exons within the RET gene. Exons are the parts of the gene that contain the information to make the protein. Mutations in these exons can lead to the production of a faulty or overactive RET protein, which can contribute to the development of certain types of cancer, including thyroid cancer and adrenal gland tumors.

By identifying mutations in these 8 exons of the RET gene, this test can help healthcare providers diagnose and monitor patients with hereditary cancer syndromes, such as multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). It can also help guide treatment decisions and provide information about the risk of cancer development in family members.

Why is this test RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test taken?

Why is the RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test taken?

The RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test is taken to detect mutations in the RET gene that can lead to the development of certain types of cancer, particularly thyroid cancer and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).

The RET gene is a proto-oncogene that, when mutated, can become an oncogene and promote uncontrolled cell growth and division, leading to the formation of tumors. The RET Oncogene- 8 Exons Test specifically looks for mutations in the 8 exons of the RET gene that are commonly associated with cancer.

By identifying these mutations early on, healthcare providers can better understand the risk of developing cancer in individuals with a family history of thyroid cancer or MEN2. Additionally, this test can help guide treatment decisions and personalized medicine approaches for patients with RET gene mutations.
