		A type of multiple endocrine neoplasia characterized by a virtually 100% incidence of medullary thyroid carcinoma, a 50% incidence of pheochromocytoma, and a lesser incidence of parathyroid adenomas associated with hyperparathyroidism.
		Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is part of a group of disorders that affect the endocrine system.
		Most cases of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means affected people may have affected siblings and relatives in successive generations (such as parents and children).

		It is sometimes called familial multiple endocrine adenomatosis or Wermer's syndrome, after one of the first doctors to recognize it.
		Since the type of pancreatic endocrine cancer associated with FMEN1 can be difficult to recognize, difficult to treat, and very slow to progress, doctors have different views about the value of surgery in managing these tumors.

		MULTIPLE ENDOCRINE NEOPLASIA (MEN) is a group of rare diseases caused by genetic defects that lead to hyperplasia (abnormal multiplication or increase in the number of normal cells in normal arrangement in a tissue) and hyperfunction (excessive functioning) of 2 or more components of the endocrine system.
		Normally, the hormones released by endocrine glands are carefully balanced to met the body's needs.
