Introduction: Mutations in the ret gene are responsible for the transmission of inherited medullary thyroid cancer (MTC). In recent years a high prevalence of the rare exon 8 mutation (G533C) has been found in patients with inherited MTC in Greece. The aim of this study was to record with more detail the place of origin of these families in the country.Design: We analysed the details of 44 patients belonging to 22 families who were c...

Objectives: In familial MTC there is genotype-phenotype correlation. The phenotype and clinical outcome in exon8 (G533C) carriers has not been well established.Methods: 95 patients operated for familial MTC (27.2% males) were followed for 0.930 years (mean 8.0, median 5.5 years). 45.3% (n=43) were exon8 carriers (exon8MTC) and the remaning were non-exon8MTCs (n=52, exons 10, 11, 13, 14, and 16). Pre-, postoperative calcitonin, ext...
