Accelerated MEN2A in homozygous RET carriers in the context of consanguinity.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Homozygous mutations, 2 identical gene versions (alleles), 1 from each biological parent, are exceptional. Clinical descriptions of affected families, comprising few carriers only, are scattered throughout the literature, hindering evidence generation. METHODS: Included in this literature analysis were 5 RET families with ≥1 homozygous carrier and ≥3 heterozygous carriers per family. RESULTS: In...
