Accurate interpretation of germline mutations of the rearranged during transfection (RET) proto-oncogene is vital for the proper recommendation of preventive thyroidectomy in medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC)-prone carriers. To gain information regarding the most disputed variant of RET, ATA-A Y791F, we sequenced blood DNA samples from a cohort of 2904 cancer-free elderly individuals (126…
The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is a tumor syndrome transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance. The glands involved are thyroid, parathyroid and medullar of adrenals and their main clinical manifestations are the medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma (PHEO) and primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The MEN2 syndrome is subdivided in MEN2A, MEN 2B and familial …

In recent years, our group have studied clinically and genetically patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasms (MENs), including the MEN type 2 (MEN2). The MEN2 is an inherited tumor syndrome that potentially affects the thyroid gland, leading to Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC); parathyroids, leading to primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT); and the adrenal medulla, leading to pheochromocyto…
Approximately 80% of cases with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) harbor a germline mutation in the tumor suppressor gene MEN1, which predisposes these patients to tumors comprehending the parathyroid and pituitary glands, endocrine pancreas and others non-endocrine tumors. The tumorigenesis of the more than 20 different types of tumors already described in the MEN1 syndrome occu…
