Abstract
To undertake clinical, biochemical, molecular and of the development of the medullar carcinoma of hereditary thyroid (MTC). Projects: 1) to develop a Brazilian consortium for genetic diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of MCT and of the symptoms of type 2 multiple endocrine neoplasm (MEN2A, MEN2B); 2) complete clinical characterization of patients with MCT of the family with G533C mutation; 3) to describe anatomo-pathological characteristics of the thyroidean tissue of patients with MCT of the family with G533C mutation; 4) to develop a test sensitive to calcitonin for diagnosis and follow-up of patients of the BRASMEN consortium; 5) to characterize polymorphisms of the RET gene in the BRASMEN population and their relation to expression of the disease; 6) to validate functionally mutations of the RET gene in the BRASMEN population; 7) to develop an embryonic model of tumor genesis in hen embryo by somatic transgenesis for the study of the development of MTC in vivo; 8) to characterize expression of glycosaminoglycans, proteoglycans and heparanase in MCT tissues.
