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...

Introduction: Autoimmune disease (AD) is more common in women than in men. Sex hormones may play a role. Sex hormone receptors (SHR) are expressed in cells of the autoimmune system. We investigated the possible role of hormonal parameters and of common gene polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1), beta (ESR2) and androgen receptor (AR) in the presence of AD in men.Methods: In total 227 men were studied; 125 had at least o...
