摘要
Inherited endocrinopathies, including multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1), multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 syndromes (MEN-2A, MEN-2B, familial medullary thyroid carcinoma), and inherited syndromes with pheochromocytoma (von Hippel–Lindau disease, neurofibromatosis type 1, others), comprise a heterogeneous group of cancer susceptibility syndromes that affect one or more components of the endocrine system. During the past several years, novel findings regarding genotype–phenotype correlation have highlighted the importance of establishing a genetic diagnosis in the treatment of these diseases. Here, we present a case-based review of recent advances in the genetics, diagnosis and management of inherited endocrinopathies.
