. . . . . . . . . . . . "[ We report a full clinical and molecular analysis of a large FMTC kindred with an uncommon RET mutation. In two family members, phenotype and genotype were not concordant, representing the first evidence of FMTC phenocopies. Furthermore, the association of familial forms of medullary and papillary thyroid cancers has been found in 30% of patients undergoing thyroidectomy for MTC. In these situations, genetic analyses excluded the possible germline involvement of RET. Though FMTC phenocopies are likely to represent an exceptional finding, such a possibility should be taken into account in the genetic counselling for MEN 2 syndromes.].
