No statistical significance was found between the incidence of PCC and different genotypes of codon 634 in MEN2A patients, whereas the incidence of HPT was closely associated with C634R and C634Y.
The novel variants K666E, IVS9-11G-->A, D631V in cis with H665Q, D631E (with C634Y), E623K (in trans with C618S), 616delGAG (in trans with C609Y), Y606C, C630R, and R635-T636insELCR;T636P were detected in patients with various clinical presentations ranging from thyroid goiter, medullary thyroid carcinoma, and pheochromocytoma to classic multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A.
Family 1 showed a germline mutation (C634Y) in three individuals; a sister and a brother with symptomatic MTC; the former also presented with pheochromocytoma and hyperparathyroidism, and her son was a nine-year-old boy of previously unknown status.
