Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of genetic testing in the management of familial multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A patients. DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: University teaching hospital, Hong Kong. PATIENTS: Twenty-two patients from eight multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A families underwent prophylactic total thyroidectomy based on a positive RET mutation genetic testing. All mutations were located at codon...
