The Clinical Spectrum of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 2A with Cutaneous Lichen Amyloidosis in Ethnic Han Chinese.

ABSTRACTThis study systematically reviewed previous literatures and analyzed the genotype–phenotype relationship between the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN 2A)-cutaneous lichen amyloidosis (CLA) and RET/OSMR/IL31RA mutations. RET/OSMR/IL31RA screening was performed on 8 RET-carriers from 3 independent Chinese MEN 2A families. Besides, 51 MEN 2A-CLA patients in 116 RET carriers from literatures were clustered and analyzed. Our results indicated that almost all MEN 2A-CLA patients exhibited CLA which was located in the scapular region and carried RET mutation at codon 634. Meanwhile, we firstly described MEN 2A-CLA here in Chinese Han patient with RET p.C634F mutation.
