Next-generation sequencing for the diagnosis of hereditary pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma syndromes
14 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: About 40% of the neuroendocrine tumors pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are caused by an inherited mutation. Diagnostic genetic screening is recommended for patients and their families. However, the number of susceptibility genes involved is high and continues to grow, making conventional sequencing costly and burdensome. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables accurate, thorough,...
