Abstract excerpt
Phaeochromocytomas may occur sporadically, or as part of the inherited cancer syndromes multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 2, von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL), and, rarely, in type 1 neurofibromatosis. In MEN 2, germline missense mutations have been found in one of eight codons within exons 1...
