Abstract excerpt
Background: Pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumors with a high rate of germline predisposition. Although multigene panel testing (MGPT) using next-generation sequencing (NGS) is widely adopted globally, its clinical application in Japan remains limited. Methods: We developed a custom amplicon-based NGS panel targeting 12 established PPGL susceptibility genes. Germline analysis...
