Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma: genotype versus anatomic location as determinants of tumor phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

To date, germline or somatic genetic events can be detected for at least 60% of paragangliomas. Strong genotype-phenotype associations have been recognized and become increasingly refined. Characteristics closely linked with genotype include syndromic presentation, age of onset, risk of metastatic disease and predominant anatomic site.
