Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2b

Known as: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, Type III, Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2b [Disease/Finding], Neoplasms, Multiple Endocrine Type 2b 
Similar to MEN2A, it is also caused by mutations of the MEN2 gene, also known as the RET proto-oncogene. Its clinical symptoms include medullary… (More)
