Abstract excerpt
Following the recent identification of specific germline mutations of the RET proto-oncogene in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) patients, we looked for mutations of this gene in a pedigree showing recurrence of MEN2A and localized Cutaneous Lichen Amyloidosis (CLA). Basal calcitonin...
