Well-differentiated G1 and G2 pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors: a meta-analysis of published expanded DNA sequencing data.

Abstract excerpt

Introduction: Well-differentiated pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs) can be non-functional or functional, e.g. insulinoma and glucagonoma. The majority of PNETs are sporadic, but PNETs also occur in hereditary syndromes, primarily multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). The Knudson hypothesis stated a second, somatic hit in MEN1 as the cause of PNETs of MEN1 syndrome. In the recent years, reports on...
