Our study documented the expression of the RET9 and RET51 isoforms in normal thyroid and PTC tissues. RET9 and RET51 isoforms were also present in MTC and PHEO. RET51 expression was higher than RET9 expression in MTC, while there was no difference in the expression of these two isoforms in PTC and normal thyroid tissues. RET9 was more highly expressed than RET51 in PHEOs.
