title: MEN-2 tumor associations suggest a linear order of specific endocrine tumor genes.
abstract: The variation in tumor involvement between families and consistent pattern within 12 MEN-2A and 4 MEN-2B families studied suggest that the tumors in MEN-2 result from separate, specific mutations in a specific linear order of adjacent genes.
