ClosedDescription of Medical Service
Genetic testing for hereditary mutations in the RET gene for (i) patients with symptoms of multiple endocrine neoplasia type II (MEN2) and (ii) unaffected relatives of a patient with a documented RET mutation to determine the risk of disease.Description of Medical Condition
Mutations in the RET gene are associated with MEN2A and MEN2B and familial medullary thyroid cancer, and the seemingly unrelated syndrome of congenital absence of the enteric ganglia (Hirschsprung disease).MEN2 is a group of disorders, associated with tumours of the endocrine system (generally the thyroid, parathyroid and adrenals). Nearly all patients develop a medullary thyroid carcinoma, and half of patients with MEN2A or MEN2B develop phaeochromocytomas. Patients with MEN2A may develop hyperparathyroidism, whereas patients with MEN2B will show other abnormalities such as ganglioneuromas, medullated corneal nerves, and marfanoid body habitus.
