Abstract excerpt
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is an inherited syndrome with multiple tumors of the endocrine pancreas, the parathyroid, the pituitary, and other tissues. The MEN1 gene at 11q13 is homozygously mutated in the majority of MEN1 tumors. Here we present a genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (LOH) screening of 23 pancreatic lesions, one duodenal tumor, and one thymic carcinoid from 13 MEN1 patients....
