Abstract excerpt
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene was identified to be a tumor suppressor that encodes menin, playing an important role in the development of MEN1-associated tumors. Somatic MEN1 gene mutations also were detected in sporadic non-MEN1 endocrine tumors. Frequent loss of chromosomal arm 1p has been reported in parathyroid adenomas, suggesting the existence of putative tumor-suppressor genes on 1p. In...
