This study aimed to determine the clinical penetrance and expression of RET missense mutations associated with MEN2A in an age-dependent manner based on parental inheritance. The results showed that offspring who inherited the trait from the father developed tumors at a significantly younger age. Parental inheritance was consistently associated with MEN2A-associated tumors, highlighting the importance of considering parental inheritance in screening and early detection of these tumors.
Objective: This study aimed to delineate the age-dependent clinical penetrance and expression of heterozygous rearranged during transfection (RET) missense mutations associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A (MEN2A) according to parental inheritance. Design: This was an observational study of RET carriers operated for MEN2A-associated tumors between 1985 and 2021. Methods: Kaplan-Meier time-to-event and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed on node metastases from medullary thyroid cancer, pheochromocytoma, bilateral pheochromocytoma, and primary hyperparathyroidism. Results: Some 405 (70.1%) of 578 patients carrying heterozygous MEN2A RET missense mutations had information about the parental inheritance of the trait. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, offspring who inherited the trait from the father developed node metastases (Plog-rank = 0.007), pheochromocytoma (Plog-rank = 0.029), bilateral pheochromocytoma (Plog-rank = 0.002), and primary hyperparathyroidism (Plog-rank = 0.018) at a significantly younger age than offspring who inherited the trait from the mother. On multivariable Cox regression, controlling for index status, offspring sex, and (where feasible) mutational risk, parental inheritance was consistently associated with each MEN2A-associated tumor (hazard ratios (HR) = 1.7-1.8 for the earlier manifestations node metastases and pheochromocytoma vs HR of 2.9-3.4 for the late manifestations bilateral pheochromocytoma and primary hyperparathyroidism). Herein, node metastases were 3.1- and 1.7-fold more closely associated with mutational risk (HR of 5.3 for high and 2.9 for moderate-high risk mutations vs low-moderate risk mutations) than parental inheritance (HR= 1.7). Conclusion: These findings illustrate the importance of considering not just mutational risk but also parental inheritance when it comes to personalization of screening for and early detection of the various components of MEN2A-associated tumors.
