Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Pheochromocytoma (Pheo) is usually considered a sporadic disease. Recently, an increasing rate of genetically based tumors has been reported. However, the need for systematic screening of unsuspected germline mutations in apparently sporadic forms is still debated. This study aimed to assess the effective rate of germline mutations causing Pheo and Paraganglioma (PGL), and the role of systematic...
