- This cross-sectional study enrolled 267 patients with metabolic risk factors and established non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in the prospective cohort. The performance of fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) score (≥1.3) to diagnose advanced fibrosis using transient elastography (liver stiffness measurement [LSM] ≥8 kPa) was analyzed. Comparing patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D, n=87) and without (n=180), not FIB-4, but LSM was significantly higher in T2D (P=0.026). The prevalence of advanced fibrosis was 17.2% in T2D and 12.8% in non-T2D. FIB-4 exhibited higher proportion of false negatives in T2D patients (10.9%) than those without (5.2%). The diagnostic performance of FIB-4 was suboptimal in T2D (area under curve [AUC], 0.653; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.462 to 0.844) compared to that in non-T2D (AUC, 0.826; 95% CI, 0.724 to 0.927). In conclusion, patients with T2D might be beneficial to conduct transient elastography without screening to avoid missing advanced fibrosis.

Abstract
PDF
- Sporadic medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is the most common form of MTC and somatic RET proto-oncogene mutations account for approximately 25% of the patients with sporadic MTC. However, other pathogeneses of sporadic MTC are still unclear. Not only RET mutation, but also polymorphisms of RET may have an association with sporadic MTC. We herein describe the association of MTC and RET proto-oncogene polymorphism. A 51-year-old man was diagnosed with MTC, which was incidentally found on a thyroid sonogram. The patient underwent total thyroidectomy and genetic mutational analysis of the RET gene. Genetic testing detected a polymorphism in codon 691 (G691S) on exon 11 of the RET proto-oncogene. His son and daughter had the same polymorphism. We report on this case along with a review of the related literature on RET gene polymorphism of sporadic MTC.
