2006, Advances in Molecular and Cellular EndocrinologyCitation Excerpt :Brandi et al. [32] have summarized possible surgical management strategies based on the specific RET codon mutation. RET germline mutation testing has replaced plasma iCT testing as the prime testing study for detection of gene carriers in MEN 2 families [32,86]. The ideal age at which prophylactic total thyroidectomy should be performed in children with RET germline mutations is controversial.
