Trivia
editIn November 2007, cardiologist John G. Sotos announced his hypothesis that Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States (1861–1865), 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.
