The condition is autosomal dominant and is associated with several germline RET mutations including Cys618Ser. Virtually all patients with the untreated 2A variant of this condition (MEN2A) will develop medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), a malignancy with an estimated 5-year survival of 68-80%. With the consequences of malignancy in untreated persons at a young age, further work to construct a more extensive pedigree would help to identify individuals who could benefit from genetic testing and subsequent prophylactic treatment. 000010035 540__ $$fCC BY 000010035 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000010035 650__ $$aMultiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2a$$031117 000010035 650__ $$aEmigrants and Immigrants$$037730 000010035 650__ $$aHyperparathyroidism$$020526 000010035 650__ $$aPedigree$$023690 000010035 650__ $$aGenetic Testing$$019469 000010035 650__ $$aThyroidectomy$$027072 000010035 650__ $$aAdrenal Gland Neoplasms$$014302 000010035 651__ $$aOregon$$041094 000010035 6531_ $$amexican people 000010035 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000010035 7001_ $$aJorizzo, Matt$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010035 7201_ $$aLi, Ryan$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eMentor$$7Personal 000010035 7201_ $$aQuintanilla-Diecks, Lourdes$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$eCo-PI$$7Personal 000010035 8564_ $$9baaf9478-e241-4241-a43a-c22cfe53e2de$$s267437$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10035/files/Jorizzo.Matt.2023..pdf 000010035 905__ $$a/rest/prod/c8/21/gk/45/c821gk45j 000010035 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10035$$pstudent-work 000010035 980__ $$aScholarly Project Capstones
