Primary hyperparathyroidism as first manifestation in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A: an international multicenter study. Endocr Connect 2020; 9:489-497.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A) is a rare syndrome caused by RET germline mutations and has been associated with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in up to 30% of cases. Recommendations on RET screening in patients with apparently sporadic PHPT are unclear. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of cases presenting with PHPT as first manifestation among MEN 2A index cases and to characterize the former cases. DESIGN AND METHODS An international retrospective multicenter study of 1085 MEN 2A index cases. Experts from MEN 2 centers all over the world were invited to participate. A total of 19 centers in 17 different countries provided registry data of index cases followed from 1974 to 2017. RESULTS Ten cases presented with PHPT as their first manifestation of MEN 2A, yielding a prevalence of 0.9% (95% CI: 0.4-1.6). 9/10 cases were diagnosed with medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) in relation to parathyroid surgery and 1/10 was diagnosed 15 years after parathyroid surgery. 7/9 cases with full TNM data were node-positive at MTC diagnosis. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggest that the prevalence of MEN 2A index cases that present with PHPT as their first manifestation is very low. The majority of index cases presenting with PHPT as first manifestation have synchronous MTC and are often node-positive. Thus, our observations suggest that not performing RET mutation analysis in patients with apparently sporadic PHPT would result in an extremely low false-negative rate, if no other MEN 2A component, specifically MTC, are found during work-up or resection of PHPT.

Abstract
In this chapter, we present an overview of multiple endocrine neoplasia syndromes including their most important clinical and molecular features. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 and 2 syndromes (MEN1 and MEN2) are discussed in detail. Syndromes that are presented in other chapters are only briefly mentioned. We discuss the relevance of germline gene alterations in apparently sporadic endocrine tumors, e.g., medullary thyroid cancer, primary hyperparathyroidism, and neuroendocrine tumors. McCune-Albright syndrome that only exists in non-hereditary, sporadic forms is also discussed in detail, as tumors of several endocrine organs can develop in the same individual.

Surgery 2018; 164:546-552. [PMID: 29903510 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2018.04.036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/15/2018] [Revised: 03/28/2018] [Accepted: 04/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcomes are measured in chronic disease states to inform intervention and management decisions while minimizing negative outcomes. We hypothesized that health-related quality of life in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A would be worse than the general US population but similar to other chronic diseases. METHODS Adults ≥18 years with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A were recruited to complete the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System 29-item questionnaire (n = 45). Scores based on the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System T-score metric were compared with the general US population and with cohorts with low back pain, cancer, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, major depressive disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, neuroendocrine tumors, primary hyperparathyroidism, and MEN1. RESULTS Compared with US normative data, multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A patients reported worse anxiety (58.2 ± 12.0, P < .0001), depression (55.4 ± 12.0, P < .01), fatigue (61.4 ± 10.8, P < .0001), pain interference (54.0 ± 11.5, P < .05), and sleep disturbance (56.9 ± 2.7, P < .001), as well as significantly lower physical functioning (45.7 ± 9.3, P < .01) and ability to participate in social roles (46.4 ± 9.7, P < .05). Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A patients reported greater fatigue than patients with cancer (P < .0001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P = .01), rheumatoid arthritis (P = .0002), neuroendocrine tumors (P = .0007), and primary hyperparathyroidism (P < .0001) but higher physical functioning compared with patients with rheumatoid arthritis (P = .02), low back pain, congestive heart failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to use the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System to compare patient-reported outcomes between multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A and other chronic conditions. Individuals with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A reported worse health-related quality of life in all 7 domains compared with US normative data. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A patients reported greater fatigue but greater physical function compared with several other conditions. Prospective longitudinal evaluation of patient-reported outcomes in multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A should be conducted to identify treatments associated with the highest health-related quality of life.

Accuracy of 68Ga DOTANOC PET/CT Imaging in Patients With Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndromes. Clin Nucl Med 2016; 40:e351-6. [PMID: 25783509 DOI: 10.1097/rlu.0000000000000775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/29/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CT imaging in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of 33 patients (age, 33.5 [13.8] years; male 14/female 19) with MEN syndromes (MEN 1, 9; MEN 2A, 19; MEN 2B, 5) who underwent 41 ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CT studies were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty PET/CTs were done for staging and 21 for restating. PET/CT images were evaluated in consensus by 2 nuclear medicine physicians, qualitatively and semiquantitatively (SUV(max)). A combination of histopathology, clinical, and biomarker follow-up was taken as reference standard. RESULTS Of the total 41 ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CTs, 34 were interpreted as positive for neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and 7 as negative. The patientwise sensitivity of PET/CT was 94% (95% confidence interval [CI], 80-99), specificity was 71% (95% CI, 29-96), positive predictive value was 94% (95% CI, 80-99), negative predictive value was 71% (95% CI, 29-96), and accuracy was 90%. A total of 74 disease sites were demonstrated on PET/CT, including 41 primary NETs (pancreas, 10; stomach, 2; pheochromocytoma, 10; medullary thyroid carcinoma, 19), 31 metastatic sites (lymph node, 15; liver, 10; bone, 4; lung, 1; breast, 1), and 2 parathyroid adenomas. Lesionwise sensitivity, positive predictive value, and accuracy of PET/CT were 93%, 96%, and 90% overall, 89%, 95%, and 85% for primary tumors, and 100%, 97%, and 97% for metastasis, respectively. Among primary tumors, the SUV(max) of medullary thyroid carcinoma was significantly lower than gastro pancreatic NETs (P = 0.003) and pheochromocytomas (P = 0.003). No site-specific difference was seen in SUV(max) of metastatic lesions. CONCLUSIONS ⁶⁸Ga DOTANOC PET/CT shows high diagnostic accuracy in MEN syndrome and can demonstrate both primary and metastatic NETs in these patients.

Abstract
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A), a subtype of MEN2, is characterized by medullary thyroid cancer, pheochromocytoma, and primary hyperparathyroidism. A Han Chinese pedigree with MEN2A was investigated following confirmation of the proband's diagnosis by pathological findings and DNA/biochemical screening. DNA samples from 4 other family members were collected and exon 5, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16 and 18 of the RET proto-oncogene were sequenced and then analyzed. A missense mutation of TGG (Trp) to TGC (Cys) at codon 634 (the classic MEN2A mutation) in exon 11 of the RET gene was detected in 3 family members, including the proband. Sequencing data were compared with the human gene mutation database. Elevated serum calcitonin level was detected initially; medullary thyroid carcinoma was revealed in the 3 cases and adrenal pheochromocytoma was also found in the proband. Elective operations were successfully performed on the adrenal and thyroid glands because of pheochromocytoma and medullary thyroid carcinoma. Our case study confirms that integrated DNA-based/biochemical screening is crucial for early diagnosis of MEN2A and is helpful in the screening of their relatives. In addition, DNA-based screening may occasionally uncover a previously unknown RET sequence.
