Abstract excerpt
Genetics of neuroendocrine tumours is mainly related to major inherited syndromes which predispose to the development of tumours in endocrine glands. Clinical and genetic studies on multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndromes show the diversity and complexity of cellular and genetic pathways involved in endocrine tumor genesis. Nevertheless, we might expect that recent cloning of most of the genes involved in...
