Abstract excerpt
Gastrinomas and other gastrointestinal neuroendocrine tumors may occur sporadically or as part of the inherited syndrome multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). Mutations in the recently identified MEN1 gene have been described in sporadic gastrinomas and insulinomas. This study describes tec...
