MEDULLARY THYROID CARCINOMA MUTATION DETECTION Test
What is Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma?
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) is a type of thyroid cancer that arises from the C-cells of the thyroid gland. These cells produce calcitonin, a hormone that regulates calcium levels in the blood. MTC is a rare form of thyroid cancer and accounts for about 5% of all thyroid cancer cases.
What is the Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Mutation Detection Test?
The Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Mutation Detection Test is a genetic test that detects mutations in the RET gene, which is associated with the development of MTC. This test helps in identifying individuals who are at a higher risk of developing MTC and can aid in early diagnosis and treatment.
What are the Symptoms of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma?
The symptoms of MTC include:
- A lump or swelling in the neck
- Difficulty swallowing
- Hoarseness or voice changes
- Shortness of breath
- Cough that doesn’t go away
- Diarrhea
- Flushing or redness of the face
How is Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Diagnosed?
Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma is diagnosed through a combination of tests, which may include:
- Physical exam
- Imaging tests (such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI)
- Biopsy
- Blood tests (such as calcitonin and CEA levels)
- Genetic testing (such as the Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Mutation Detection Test)
What is the Cost of the Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Mutation Detection Test?
The cost of the Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma Mutation Detection Test at DNA Labs India is INR 20,000. This cost may vary depending on the location and other factors.

Mutations (DNA changes) in the RET proto-oncogene, located on chromosome 10, lead to the expression of a mutated receptor tyrosine kinase protein, termed RET (REarranged during Transfection). RET is involved in the regulation of cell growth & development and its germline mutation is responsible for nearly all cases of Hereditary or Familial Medullary thyroid carcinoma. Its germline mutation may also be responsible for the development of Hyperparathyroidism and Pheochromocytoma.
