MEN1. Menin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MEN1 gene. [5] Menin is a putative tumor suppressor associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1 syndrome) and has autosomal dominant inheritance. [6] Variations in the MEN1 gene can cause pituitary adenomas, hyperparathyroidism, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, gastrinoma ...
Oncology, endocrine surgery. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1) is one of a group of disorders, the multiple endocrine neoplasias, that affect the endocrine system through development of neoplastic lesions in pituitary, parathyroid gland and pancreas. [1] Individuals suffering from this disorder are prone to developing multiple ...
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a rare hereditary endocrine cancer syndrome characterized primarily by tumors of the parathyroid glands (95% of cases), endocrine gastroenteropancreatic (GEP) tract (30–80% of cases), and anterior pituitary (15–90% of cases). [19] Other endocrine and non-endocrine neoplasms including ...
Instead, hereditary MEN1 gene mutations give risk to MEN1 syndrome, in which primary tumors occur in two or more endocrine glands. About 40–70% of people born with a MEN1 mutation eventually develop a PanNet. [56] Other genes that are frequently mutated include DAXX, mTOR, and ATRX. [31]
Oncology. Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (also known as " Pheochromocytoma (codons 630 and 634) and amyloid producing medullary thyroid carcinoma", [1] "PTC syndrome," [1] and "Sipple syndrome" [1]) is a group of medical disorders associated with tumors of the endocrine system. The tumors may be benign or malignant ( cancer ).
Prolactinoma. A prolactinoma is a tumor ( adenoma) of the pituitary gland that produces the hormone prolactin. It is the most common type of functioning pituitary tumor. [ 1] Symptoms of prolactinoma are due to abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood ( hyperprolactinemia ), or due to pressure of the tumor on surrounding brain tissue ...
Mutations in the CDKN1B gene has been reported in families affected by the development of primary hyperparathyroidism and pituitary adenomas, and has been classified MEN4 (multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 4). Testing for CDKN1B mutations has been recommended in patients with suspected MEN, in whom previous testing for, the more common MEN1 ...
Werner syndrome has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Werner syndrome (WS) or Werner's syndrome, also known as "adult progeria ", [1] is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder [2] which is characterized by the appearance of premature aging. [3] Werner syndrome is named after the German scientist Otto Werner. [4]
