Rare Germline Mutations in Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor Genes in Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 and Related States
13 Jan 2009
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Germline mutation in the MEN1 gene is the usual cause of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). However, the prevalence of identifiable germline MEN1 mutations in familial MEN1 cases is only 70%. Some cases may have a germline mutation in another gene such as the p27 cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKI). OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate cases of MEN1 or related states for...
