MEN1 and microRNAs: The link between sporadic pituitary, parathyroid and adrenocortical tumors?

Abstract excerpt

Sporadic tumors of the pituitary, parathyroids and adrenal cortex are unique, as their benign forms are very common, but malignant forms are exceptionally rare. Hereditary forms of these tumors occur in multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 (MEN1). We hypothesize that the pathogenic link among the sporadic tumors of these organs of different germ layers might be represented by common molecular pathways...
