Epidemiology, Clinical Features, and Genetics of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2B in a Complete Population.

This paper reports the first published prevalence of Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2B (MEN 2B). Estimates of the epidemiology of MEN 2B were based on a single population with one centralized genetic clinic. MEN 2B remains a relatively rare condition and can be easily missed if the diagnosis has not been considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
