Multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN)
Autosomal dominant disorder
MEN 1 (Wermer's syndrome)
11q13 chromosome
MEN1 gene / menin
Follows knudson's two hit hypothesis
Associated tumors - 3P'S
Anterior Pitutary tumors / Pitutary adenoma (Prolactinoma > Somatotrophinoma > Corticotrophinoma)
Parathyroid adenoma (Most common tumor overall among MEN1)
Pancreatic tumors (Non functioning pancreatic tumor is more common than Functioning pancreatic tumor) (Among functional pancreatic tumor in MEN 1 Gastrinoma > Insulinoma > Glucaganoma > VIPoma)
Note - Eventhough Gastrinoma is more common than insulinoma in MEN1 syndrome ; Overall incidence of Insulinoma is more than gastrinoma
Most common cutaneous tumors in MEN 1 (Angiofibroma > Collagenoma > Lipoma)
Adrenal cortical tumors
Meningioma
Neuroendocrine tumors (Gastric , Thymic , Bronchopulmonary)
Pheochromocytoma
Carcinoid tumors
MEN 2A (Sipple's syndrome)
10q11.2 chromosome
RET Proto-oncogene
634 , missense , Cys to Arg
Associated tumors -
Medullary thyroid carcinoma
Pheochromocytoma
Parathyroid adenoma
MEN 2B/MEN 3 (Wagenmann-Froboese syndrome / Mucosal neuroma syndrome)
10q11.2 chromosome
RET Proto-oncogene
918 , Met to Thr {Single Methionine to Threonine substitution in intracellular tyrosine kinase domain}
Associated tumors -
Medullary thyroid carcinoma
Pheochromocytoma
Mucosal neuromas
Medullated corneal nerve fibers
Marfanoid habitus
Megacolon
MEN 4 / MEN X
12p13 chromosome
CDKN1B gene (Cyclin Dependent KiNase inhibitor 1B)
Associated tumors -
Parathyroid adenoma
Pitutary adenoma
Reproductive organ tumor (testicular cancer , neuroendocrine cervical cancer)
Adrenal + Renal tumors
