Now we found a new type of RET rearrangement: By the 5'RACE method we demonstrated in cDNA the fusion of the tyrosine kinase domain of RET with a truncated ELE1 gene shorter than the ELE1 in RET/PTC3.     ///    Obviously the new and possibly additional ELE/RET fusion molecules might even increase the high prevalence of ELE1/RET rearrangements in thyroid carcinomas of children after the Chernobyl reactor accident..
