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
  • Spaces will be interpreted literally in the search. Use the percentage character '%' as a wildcard to search for multiple values
  • When searching for values delimited by '%', searches are ordered by their appearance in the text. (i.e. 'A%C' will likely return different results than 'C%A')
  • Precede text with a caret '^' to indicate search should "start with" the text
  • Follow text with a dollar sign '$' to indicate search should "end with" the preceding text

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.
