What is Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (MEN2)?
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2 (MEN2) is a rare, hereditary disorder characterized by the development of tumors in multiple endocrine glands. The condition is primarily caused by mutations in the RET proto-oncogene. These mutations can lead to the development of various types of cancer, most notably medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma, and parathyroid tumors.
