Gross <i>SDHB</i> deletions in patients with paraganglioma detected by multiplex PCR: A possible hot spot?
28 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma are rare neuroendocrine tumors that arise in the adrenal medulla and the extra-adrenal paraganglia, respectively. Inheritance of these tumors is mainly a result of mutations affecting the VHL, RET, NF1, and SDH genes. Germ-line mutations of the SDH genes have been found to account for nearly 10% of apparently sporadic cases. Nevertheless, alterations other than point mutations...
