Abstract
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (MEN 2) is a complex hereditary disorder with a genetic predisposition toward the development of endocrine tumors. MEN2a complex is the most common variant which comprises medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma and multiglandular parathyroid hyperplasia. MTC is usually the initial presenting feature of this complex and a specific RET codon mutation can help predict the disease and how it will behave.
