MEN 2A family--prophylactic thyroidectomy for asymptomatic siblings with positive 634 codon mutation.

The Journal of the Association of Physicians of India - 1 Feb 2012

Agarwal Sudhi, Agarwal Amit, Chand Gyan, Gupta Sushil Kumar, Jain Manoj, Ramakant Pooja

Abstract excerpt

Multiple endocrine neoplasia 2a (MEN2a) syndrome is one of the rare genetic disorder where prophylactic thyroidectomy is recommended for RET mutation carriers due to increased risk for developing MTC during lifetime. We present a case report of prophylactic total thyroidectomy in a family based o...
