Abstract excerpt
Genetic testing of pheochromocytomas (PCC) and paragangliomas (PGL), although expensive, is gradually becoming a part of the routine laboratory investigation for patients with PCC-PGL syndrome. Recently, Succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB) immunochemistry has been shown to be an excellent indicator of germline mutations in the SDH genes and could help significantly reduce cost. This study assesses the utility of...
