Article Synopsis
- Genetic testing is now standard for cancer diagnoses, but it's rare to find patients with multiple simultaneous genetic disorders, prompting the need for targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) and comprehensive evaluations.
- Two sisters with neck tumors were diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2A) and familial paraganglioma syndrome type 1 (FPGL1) after surgery and genetic testing showed specific mutations in the RET and SDHD genes.
- This case highlights the unusual occurrence of multiple hereditary syndromes occurring in related individuals and stresses the importance of thorough genetic assessment in such scenarios.
