Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN 2) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the endocrine system, which produces hormones. It is characterized by the development of tumors in multiple glands, particularly the thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands. There are two main forms: MEN 2A and MEN 2B, each with different tumor types and risks. People with MEN 2 often have a family history of the condition, as it is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Early detection and treatment are crucial, as some tumors can become cancerous. Regular check-ups and genetic testing can help manage the risks associated with this condition.
