Trivia

[edit]

In November 2007, cardiologist John G. Sotos announced his hypothesis that Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States (18611865), had MEN 2B.[1][2]

In 2006 a family in south london were diagnosed with this. Since then many of them have had thyroidectomies and other operations.
