Core Tip

Core Tip: In this editorial, we provide a commentary on a case report. The authors aimed to study the rearranged during transfection (RET) gene mutations, clinical characteristics, and treatment strategies in a family with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). Although RET gene mutation increases the risk of endocrine tumors and hyperplasia, a lack of proper diagnosis and molecular testing can undermine the management of patients with MEN2. In this editorial article, we focus on the significance of molecular testing in MEN2.
