摘要：Multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 1 (MEN1) syndrome has benefited from the identification of the gene whose mutations account for the genetic susceptibility to develop endocrine tumors. Asymptomatic MEN1 mutant carriers need to be clearly recognized because the gene-related mutations confer a high risk of multiple primary cancers, occur at younger ages, and affect multiple family members who inherit the cancer-predisposing genetic mutation.
