The Genetic Landscape of Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas: Somatic Mutations Take Center Stage
1 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
The neural crest-derived, catecholamine-secreting tumors, pheochromocytomas, and their related extra-adrenal counterparts, paragangliomas, have gone through what amounts to a genetic revolution over the past decade (1). From scant knowledge of the genetic basis of a small fraction of clearly syndromic cases in the mid-1990s to the current detection of a germline driver mutation in nearly half of the cases, the...
