Abstract excerpt
Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumours characterized by a strong genetic determinism. Over the past 20 years, evolution of PPGL genetics has revealed that around 40% of PPGL are genetically determined, secondary to a germline mutation in one of more than twenty susceptibility genes reported so far. More than half of the mutations occur in one of the SDHx genes (SDHA, SDHB,...
