4. 2. Genetic and molecular background of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma

   Author : Adam Stenman; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Pheochromocytomas (PCC) and abdominal paragangliomas (PGL), collectively denoted PPGL, are neuroendocrine tumors (NET) with a highly diverse genetic and molecular etiology, arisen in the adrenal medulla and abdominal paraganglia respectively. The tumors often cause cardiovascular symptoms due to the high production of catecholamines, and malignancy occurs in 10% of the PCCs and 30% of the PGLs. READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular genetic analysis of human breast cancer

   Author : Catherine M Phelan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Breast cancer accounts for approximately 20% of all female malignancies with hereditary breast cancer being implicated in 5-10% of these cases. Two highly penetrant hereditary breast cancer genes are known; BRCA1 (17q) and BRCA2 (13q), which also confer an increased risk of cancer at other sites. READ MORE
