Medullary thyroid carcinoma occurs sporadically or as a part of the inherited cancer syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2. The MEN 2 gene has been identified as the RET proto-oncogene on chromosome 10. In MEN 2A, RET mutations are detectable in one of five cysteine codons within exons

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), an autosomal dominant disease characterized by neoplasia of the parathyroid glands, anterior pituitary and endocrine pancreas, is rarely reported in Asian populations. The MEN1 gene, mapped to chromosome 11q13 but yet to be cloned, has been found to be hom
## Abstract Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) is a familial cancer syndrome arising from mutation at a locus or loci in chromosome region 10p11.2โq11.2. The disease is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) and pheochromocytoma (Pheo). To assess the genetic events in tumour in
## Abstract Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A) is associated with specific germline missense mutations in the __RET__ protoโoncogene. This locus encodes a receptor tyrosine kinase whose activation requires the formation of a multimeric receptor complex including GDNF as a ligand and GFRฮฑ
