Abstract Text

Although the majority of RET alterations are single nucleotide variants (SNV), small deletions and/or insertions have been reported at variable prevalence. No information about the efficacy of RET-specific inhibitors in patients harboring RET indels has been provided.We present an update on the prevalence of RET indels in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) and describe the efficacy of selpercatinib in patients with advanced MTC with RET indels.The MTC tissues of 287 patients were analyzed using an Ion S5 targeted sequencing. The functional role of the reported indels have been evaluated by MutationTaster. Clinical and pathological data of MTC patients harboring a RET indel were collected and analyzed. Two patients with a RET indel were treated with selpercatinib.Among 178 RET-positive cases, 147 (82.6%) harbored a SNV and 31 (17.4%) a RET in-frame indel. Nine indels were not previously reported and were found to be disease causing by MutationTaster. Patients harboring an indel were found to have an aggressive disease and 2 of them were treated with selpercatinib, experiencing a good response to the treatment.These data show that RET indels are not infrequent and correlate with an aggressive disease. Two RET indel-positive patients showed a partial response to the treatment with a highly selective RET inhibitor; thus, these RET indels can be considered actionable mutations. In order to not miss these alterations, the analysis of the full gene is recommended.

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
Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

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.
