RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

A imensa maioria dos casos com Neoplasia Endócrina Múltipla Tipo 2 (NEM2) é causada por uma única mutação germinativa no proto-oncogene RET. Entretanto, há alguns poucos casos descritos na literatura (~16) que apresentam duplas mutações/polimorfismos no gene RET, geralmente associados a fenótipos atípicos.

OBJETIVOS:

Os objetivos deste projeto são a) caracterizar os aspectos clínicos de pacientes advindos de cinco famílias não relacionadas com diagnóstico de NEM2A, nas quais se documentou a presença de uma nova dupla mutação germinativa RET nos códons 634 e 791 e b) realizar rastreamento gênico familiar dos casos sob-risco com a finalidade de identificarmos possíveis casos com esta nova mutação. PACIENTES Cinco casos-índice foram recentemente descobertos albergando a dupla mutação germinativa RET C634Y/Y791F. Nestas famílias há relato de 208 parentes, potencialmente, sob-risco (~50%) de serem portadores desta mutação. Dentre estes 208 indivíduos, 81 (38,9%) aceitaram participar do rastreamento gênico.

MÉTODOS:

O estudo foi realizado na Disciplina de Endocrinologia, Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. O DNA do sangue periférico dos pacientes e de seus parentes sob- risco foi obtido após a obtenção do consentimento livre e esclarecido. Após PCR, foi realizado o sequenciamento gênico direto (ABI 3130x/l Sequencer, Applied Biosystems), abrangendo todos os 20 éxons do RET. Foram investigados potenciais polimorfismos e mutações no RET. Os tumores NEM2-relacionados (carcinoma medular de tireoide, CMT; feocromocitoma, FEO; hiperparatireoidismo primário, HPT) foram estudados quanto a vários parâmetros clínicos, como sinais/sintomas; dimensão, penetrância e agressividade dos tumores; porcentagem de remissão bioquímica do CMT, e recidiva ou persistência dos tumores.

RESULTADOS:

Dentre os 81 indivíduos que participaram do rastreamento gênico, documentamos 28 casos (34,5%) como portadores da dupla mutação RET C634Y/...
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

The vast majority of cases with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) is caused by a single germline mutation in the RET proto-oncogene. However, some instances (~16) of double germline RET mutations have been reported, most frequently associated with atypical phenotypes.

OBJECTIVES:

The main goals of this project were a) to characterize the phenotype of patients from five unrelated MEN2A families harboring a new RET double germline in codons 634 and 791; b) perform the genetic screening in at-risk family members attempting to search for new similarly affected cases. PATIENTS Five affected index-cases were recently found with this new double RET mutation C634Y/Y791F. In these five families, 208 first-degree relatives were reported and they were at-risk (~50%) to develop this mutation. Eighty-one individuals out of the 208 at-risk relatives (38.9%) were available and signed the informed consent.

METHODS:

The present investigation was performed at the Department of Endocrinology, School of Medicine, University of São Paulo. DNA was obtained from the peripheral blood of patients and at-risk relatives, after obtaining the informed consent of all individuals. After PCR, the direct genetic sequence was performed (ABI 3130x/l Sequencer, Applied Biosystems), involving all 20 exons of the RET proto-oncogene. Potential mutations and polymorphisms were investigated. In addition, the mutations were tested in vitro and a potential founder effect was evaluated. The MEN2A- related tumors (medullary thyroid carcinoma, MTC; pheochromocytoma, PHEO; and primary hyperparathyroidism, HPT) were approached using several clinical parameters, as signs and symptoms; age at the diagnosis; tumor size and aggressiveness; biochemical remission of MTC; tumor relapse or persistence;

RESULTS:

Within the 81 genetically screened individuals, 28 cases (34.5%) were documented harboring the RET C634Y/Y791F germline mutation. It was observed that a) the five affected...
