Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are highly heritable tumours, with up to 40% of cases carrying germline variants. Current guidelines recommend genetic testing for all patients with PPGLs. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables accurate, fast, and inexpensive genetic testing. This study aimed to compare the costs related to PPGL genetic testing between the sequential testing using the...
