In this study, we reported a rare case of a 44-year-old man from Vietnam with medullary thyroid carcinoma and pheochromocytoma as the symptom of MEN2A. Genetic testing indicated a nucleotide substitution located in exon 11 of the RET proto-oncogene (>C, ), which was reported as a known pathogenic mutation of MEN2A. Further genetic tests on the other family members found the same mutation in his daughter (currently 14 years-old) and his son (currently 8 years-old). A |
